Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz -Household helpers to become regular employed workers


MANILA, Philippines - Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz yesterday said household helpers would soon become regular employed workers with the impending passage of the Kasambahay Bill in Congress.

“With the passage of the measure, the hiring of household helpers would require employment contract and they would be receiving holiday pay and mandatory leaves like any regular workers,” Baldoz said in an interview.
However, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) wants housemaids to retain their status as “family members.”
Baldoz said there were proposals to set aside the Filipino culture of treating household helpers as members of the family with the passage of the measure.
“There were suggestions to set aside completely the culture of treating them as members of the family, saying members of the family do not have contracts,” she said.
“But for DOLE, we cannot set aside that culture and this measure should serve for the benefit of our household helpers and not the other way around,” she added.
Baldoz said once the bill is approved, DOLE would be drafting a standard employment contract in the hiring of household helpers nationwide.
The Kasambahay bill has passed second reading and is already scheduled for third and final approval within the month.
