Philippines In Focus : Employment Law (POSTPONED)



Overview


Philippine labor law was designed and being applied as social justice legislation. It balances the unequal bargaining relationship between labor and capital. While Philippine labor law often favors the worker/employee over the employer, it is possible for businesses to design their employment policies to achieve a stable and predictable HR regime. The keys are (i) formalization of policies procedures and  performance indicators; and (ii) consistency in practice. 

There are also recent developments in Philippine labor law on the issue of contracting or subcontracting. Finally, the Philippine Data Privacy Act imposes certain requirements to protect the personal information of employees in light of the trend in outsourcing certain finance, administrative and even HR functions.
