Las Piñas City Rep. Camille Villar has filed a bill seeking to enable the government to ensure the safety and welfare of the workers in the business process outsourcing industry.
Villar noted that the Philippine government has offered a wide range of privileges to BPO companies, among them tax perks and incentives, to attract more investments in the sector and to keep the country’s status as a top outsourcing destination for global investors. “With the importance of the BPO industry in the Philippine economy, it is but fitting to establish standards to ensure the safety, well-being and rights of employees working in the BPO sector.
Under HB 9342, BPO companies are prohibited from compelling an employee to pay a company bond and to impose an unreasonable or exorbitant fee to be paid by the employee upon leaving the company before a specified length of time or before the end of her contract.
