THE Department of Labor and Employment will formulate a policy on employment contractualization based on the proposals of the employers and labor groups before the end of 2016.
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said the department will come up with a policy or guideline that will be enforced by the year ends.
“We will decide whether we will end contractualization, allow contractualization, or come up with a balance of the two positions,” Bello said after the high level dialogue between representatives from employers and labor groups.
Bello said the department is also studying the proposed “Win-Win Structure” which was submitted by the Department of Trade and Industry and supported by various employers’ groups.
Among the employers’ group which support the DTI’s proposal are the Employers’ Confederation of the Philippines; Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry; and Philippine Association of Local Service Contractors.
