When looking at a list of popular outsourcing destinations, you can be sure to find the Philippines in one of the top positions. The reasons for this are pretty straight-forward: First of all, employment costs are really low, making hiring in the Philippines very cheap and attractive for international companies.
Second, English is an official language – so no need to worry about difficulties communicating with your new remote employee. Third, the country’s workforce is young, dynamic and well-educated. What’s more, given the Philippines’ considerable history as a popular outsourcing destination, most employees have experience working for international employers and will not have any trouble adapting to the new workflow.
Although verbal employment agreements are also valid, it is best practice to put a written employment contract in place when hiring an employee from the Philippines. The contract should be drafted in English as well as in Filipino and outline the basic terms of employment including but not limited to:
Identification of both parties
Date of commencement (and employment duration for temporary contracts)
Workplace
Job description, position, duties and responsibilities
Basic salary as well as other compensation or benefits
Working hours
Total number of holidays
Notice periods for employment termination
Probation period
Code of conduct and complaint procedures
Company policies
Unless stated otherwise in the employment contract, employment relationships in the Philippines are considered permanent. Fixed-term contracts are, however, possible.
Probationary periods should not exceed six months.

Under normal circumstances, employees should not work for more than eight hours per day, i.e. 40 hours per week – 48 hours in certain industries operating on a six-day week. Employers are obligated to grant a meal break of no less than 60 minutes to their employees. It is possible to reduce daily breaks to 20 minutes by offering pay instead.
Furthermore, employers have to make sure an employee’s weekly rest period is not shorter than 24 consecutive hours.
Employees who are required to work overtime must be remunerated at a rate of at least 125% of their normal wages. Every hour worked beyond eight hours a day is considered overtime. Managerial staff is exempt from overtime pay.
Additional work on a holiday or rest day is to be compensated by the sum of the pay due for the first 8 hours of work on that day plus a supplement of no less than 30% of the amount.
It is mandatory to pay employees once every two weeks or twice a month. In no case should the period between two payments exceed 16 days.
The national minimum wage in the Philippines is currently (February 2023) set at PHP 570 per day. It applies for non-agricultural workers in the national capital region.
Although there are no statutory provisions for paid sick leave, it is common practice for companies to introduce internal sick leave policies. Depending on the industry, collective agreements may provide for sick leave.
Labour law in the Philippines provides for a 13th salary which should be paid by the 24th of December of every year – at the very latest. However, it is also possible to pay the bonus in two instalments, one in June and one in December.

Employees are entitled to five days of paid annual leave after having completed one year of service with the employer.
In addition, there are ten regular public holidays which are observed all over the country plus several special non-working days which vary from year to year. While official public holidays are paid days off, non-special working days are unpaid rest days.
Employees who are required to work on public holidays are entitled to double pay – a pay rate of 130% applies on special non-working days.
In 2019, the government of the Philippines extended maternity leave from 60 to 105 days. During this time, the employee is to receive her full wages. Maternity leave can be extended by another 30 days. However, any extension will be unpaid.
Fathers can take up to seven days of paternity leave which is fully paid.
There are no legal provisions for further parental leave following maternity and paternity leave. However, solo-parents have the right to take seven days off per year in order to fulfill their parental duties.
Philippine labour law does not provide for any further leave. However, it is common for companies to provide their employees with additional allowances and complementary insurance.
In addition to employment termination by default – i.e. in case of a fixed-term contract – resignation and mutual agreement, the Labour Code recognises the following reasons for employee dismissal (non-exhaustive list):
redundancy or any other business-related reason
summary dismissal due to gross misconduct or disobedience
breach of trust
employee’s underperformance
employee’s long-term illness or inability to perform agreed work because of lasting injury
The statutory notice period for employees and employers is 30 days. Employees who are made redundant are entitled to severance pay equal to one month’s salary for each year of service – a period of more than six months counts as one year of service. Retrenched employees receive severance pay equal to one and a half month’s salary for each year they have worked for the employer.
