The House of Representatives on Monday approved on third and final reading a bill amending Batas Kasambahay or Republic Act 10361, jointly making private employment agencies (PEAs) liable for crimes house helpers commit against their employers.
This developed after the House Bill 4477 gathered 246 yes votes alongside zero no and abstention votes during Monday’s plenary session.
The accountability of the PEA, however, will cease one year from the first day of the domestic worker's employment with the employer.
