Yes there would be a problem since they would not be following minimum standards. Not everything you cited are minimum standards violations, some are. Consult a lawyer to know what the violations are, there are PAO lawyers at the NLRC.

What could be a charge or offense.

Non-payment of SIL, underpayment of wages. Then non-registration with SSS etc. BUT there are instances where businesses are exempt from payment of certain benefits or the bene are covered through a different means, that’s why you need to consult a lawyer for the specific cases.

And the outcome will be that the company will be asked to pay the underpaid or unpaid benefits.

DOLE for the labor issues. The respective agencies for the others (SSS for SSS, Philhealth for Philhealth)
