Sources of Labor Laws: Civil Code Application

In a company's operations, various situations may arise that necessitate the application of labor laws. Consider the following scenario:

XYZ Company is a manufacturing firm that has entered into several contractual agreements with its employees. One of its employees, John, brings forward a complaint about an alleged violation of his rights as a worker. He claims that the company failed to provide him with proper rest periods and overtime pay as required by labor laws. In response, the company argues that since their agreement with John is governed by a contract, the provisions of the Civil Code apply, not the labor laws.

In light of this scenario, please answer the following question:

Can the company invoke the application of the Civil Code instead of labor laws? Explain your answer.
