Exploring entity setup in the Philippines for hiring? Think again.
It’s slow, paperwork-heavy, and comes with strict compliance requirements.
Why deal with compliance alone?
The Philippines Labor Code sets rules for employment contracts, wage rates, working hours, and termination. Even employment contract types like seasonal or casual must meet defined standards.
Payroll isn’t just a monthly transfer
It involves managing government-mandated contributions, employment classifications, and penalties for non-compliance, all of which shift depending on employment contract type and tenure.
No need to set up a legal entity
With us, you can onboard employees or contractors legally with minimal delays and risk, and help get your global team off the ground effortlessly and at speed.
3–5 days onboarding with employment contracts, payroll, and tax setup ready to go.
Employment Contracts
We support fixed-term, seasonal, and casual contracts. Each agreement includes working hours, compensation, leave entitlements, and termination clauses to stay compliant with local law.
Background checks
We help you run proper checks so you don’t have to hope for the best. Identity, education, employment history, criminal records, and credit reports.
Equipment provisioning
We make employee onboarding effortless by managing all equipment provisioning. We also have ties with multiple co-working spaces to boost employee productivity.
Talent Discovery
Need help sourcing the right talent in the Philippines? Our local partners can help you discover pre-vetted candidates across tech, finance, support, and more.
The following services are available as add-ons, based on your hiring needs. Please contact us for more information on the availability of these services as per local laws.
We strive to follow every rule to the letter
Social Security System (SSS)
All employees under 60 must be enrolled in the national SSS program. We handle monthly contributions to support retirement, disability, and death benefits.
Pension
We manage employer-side contributions to the Social Security System , where applicable, ensuring all retirement obligations are met under Philippine law.
Government health contributions
Payoneer processes mandatory deductions for PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG. These contributions fund employee healthcare and housing support respectively, critical to statutory compliance.
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Labor Code compliance
Employment in the Philippines is governed by the Presidential Decree No. 442 (Labor Code) and the Omnibus Rules Implementing the Labour Code. All employment contracts, benefits, working hours, and wage structures are aligned with national employment standards.
Minimum wage alignment
We stay updated with regional wage orders and help align compensation packages with provincial minimum wage requirements.
Recordkeeping & retention
Employers hiring in the Philippines must retain employee records for at least three years after termination. We maintain secure, audit-ready documentation from start to finish.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Service incentive leave
Employees with at least one year of service are entitled to five days of paid annual leave. Unused leave is encashed at year-end or during exit, as there’s no carry-forward policy.
Public holidays
We track all national and special holidays in the Philippines. Employees required to work on these days are paid 200% of their regular wages, as per law.
Sick leave
Philippine law does not require employers to grant sick leave or sick pay. The minimum legally required is service incentive leave, which the employee may avail of in the case of sickness.
Maternity leave
Eligible employees receive fully paid maternity leave for 105 days after childbirth or miscarriage. As per the Maternity Benefit Act, a woman may apply for maternity leave in every instance of pregnancy, regardless of frequency.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. Let us help you handle it better!
Employee-initiated termination
Employees can resign with a written notice at least 30 days in advance. Immediate resignation is allowed in cases of serious insult, inhumane treatment, or criminal acts by the employer.
Employer-initiated termination
We support dismissals based on legally accepted grounds in the Philippines, like misconduct, negligence, fraud, or criminal actions against the employer.
