Study Notes

Overview of Implementing Rules and Regulations

R.A. No. 6685 is a significant piece of legislation that specifically mandates private contractors engaged in public works projects to prioritize hiring from the local labor pool. This law stipulates that a minimum of 50% of the workforce must be unskilled laborers and at least 30% should be skilled laborers hailing from the community. The intention behind this requirement is to promote local employment opportunities, stimulate the local economy, and ensure that the benefits of public spending are more pronounced within the community.
To support the implementation of this law, detailed guidelines, which are essential for ensuring compliance and uniformity, have been outlined in DPWH D.O. No. 130 (2016). This document serves as a framework that contains specific instructions on how to carry out the provisions of R.A. No. 6685, thereby ensuring that the processes surrounding hiring practices are transparent and equitable.

Employment and Recruitment Policies

The JobStart Philippines Act (R.A. No. 10869) is designed with a focus on the youth, aiming to bridge the gap between education and employment. This law facilitates quicker transitions from school to work by enhancing the skill sets of young individuals, equipping them with competencies that are directly aligned with current labor market demands. The program initiates a sustainable mechanism that fosters employability and supports young people in securing jobs that match their training and aspirations.
The Bureau of Employment Services plays a pivotal role in escalating the employment prospects of Filipino workers by developing comprehensive employment programs. These initiatives not only address immediate job placement needs but also encourage occupational mobility within various regions, providing workers with the opportunity to find better employment prospects while enhancing their skills. This holistic approach to workforce development is critical in promoting a dynamic and adaptable labor market.

National Seamen Board

The National Seamen Board has been established with the explicit mandate of safeguarding the welfare of Filipino seamen working abroad. This governmental body is instrumental in overseeing their employment conditions and ensuring that their rights are upheld in the international labor market. This includes not only addressing issues related to employment but also broader welfare concerns, thereby contributing to the well-being of seamen and their families.
In addition to its regulatory functions, the board provides free placement services to aspiring seamen and closely regulates hiring agents involved in overseas employment. This regulation is critical in ensuring that seamen receive fair and just contract terms, preventing exploitation and ensuring that their employment rights are honored. Through these measures, the board plays a vital role in fostering a safe and equitable environment for Filipinos seeking employment in maritime professions.

Reporting Requirements

The Secretary of Labor holds the authority to require periodic reports from various entities concerning their employment activities. These mandates include detailed disclosures about job vacancies, employee separations, and wage structures. Such reporting not only helps in monitoring compliance with employment laws but also provides valuable insights into the employment landscape of the country, facilitating informed policymaking and labor reforms.

Prohibited Practices in Recruitment

In the recruitment field, charging fees that exceed the approved allowable amounts is strictly prohibited. This regulation is in place to protect job seekers from potential exploitation and ensures that the recruitment process remains fair and accessible to all individuals, regardless of their financial situation. Such practices are seen as barriers that could dissuade prospective candidates from applying for jobs.
Any entity or individual found violating these regulations can face severe penalties, which are designed to deter unethical recruitment practices and uphold the integrity of the hiring process. Striking down on these prohibited practices is essential for fostering a labor market where individuals can seek employment opportunities without the burden of unfair financial demands.

Penalties for Violations

The consequences for violations related to unlawful recruitment practices can be extremely severe. For instance, individuals found guilty of recruitment that violates economic sabotage laws can face life imprisonment as well as significant fines, which can amount up to P100,000. This underscores the government’s firm stance against unscrupulous practices that undermine the economic stability of the nation.
Licensees who transgress these regulations might face imprisonment ranging from 2 to
