Want to Hire Employees
in the Philippines?

Looking to employ staff in the Philippines? When employing in the Philippines directly, you typically need to establish a legal entity. A local entity allows you to legally hire employees and comply with local employment laws.

How Workwell Global’s Employer of Record Philippine Services Help

You can simplify this process and use a specialised Employer of Record Philippines service, like Workwell Global, to facilitate the processing of payroll and provision of insurance and benefits to your Filipino employees.
If you want to employ someone in the Philippines quickly and lack local expertise, an Employer of Record may be the best option to achieve your global business growth goals.

What to Consider When Hiring Employees in the Philippines?

Protection of Employees

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is the governing body that oversees labour practices in the Philippines.

Businesses with five or more employees are required to register with the DOLE. Registration is mandatory and involves submitting the business details, workforce size, and other relevant information. This ensures the company is legally recognised and can be inspected by DOLE for compliance.

Benefits

Both employers and employees are required to contribute to the Social Security System (SSS), a state-managed insurance program. Contributions are calculated based on the employee’s monthly salary. Employers contribute a higher percentage, while the employee’s share is deducted from their salary. In addition to SSS, employers must also make contributions to PhilHealth. As the national health insurance provider, PhilHealth contributions are mandatory and help cover hospitalization, surgeries, and other medical expenses.

Tax

Employers must withhold taxes from employees' monthly wages and remit them to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). The Philippines has a progressive income tax system, with rates ranging from 0% to 35% based on the employee’s taxable income.
