Things to Know Before Hiring in the Philippines
1. Contracts/Terminations
Most professional professions require contracts because at-will employment does not exist in the Philippines except for brief probationary periods. Though these agreements can be oral or written, it’s essential to draft a firm written contract in Filipino that includes items like these:
- Compensation
- Benefits
- Position
- Requirements for termination
Employers may need to know the rules and ensure that their policies conform with them in the Philippines because the requirements for terminating an employee are extensive.
