DOLE to inspect businesses for their labor compliance
THE Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)-Regional Office 1 will implement an intensive inspection campaign called Project Labor Enforcement and Action Program (Project LEAP) starting August this year.
Regional Director Henry John Jalbuena said Project LEAP is intended to ensure that businesses are following labor laws.
“The project will ensure compliance with core labor standards such as minimum wage, ECOLA, 13th month pay, holiday pay, service incentive leave, overtime pay, night-shift differential pay and SSS, Pag-ibig and PhilHealth,” Jalbuena said.
The inspection will cover all establishments employing 10-199 workers.
Priority establishments for inspection are security agencies, manpower agencies, subcontractors, cooperatives, manufacturing establishments and restaurants/fast-food enterprises.
“Inspectionable establishments which will be found violating these core labor standards will be ordered to effect restitution or correction. On one hand, inspectionable establishments which have been consistently compliant with labor standards for the past three years will be given due recognition by the Department,” Jalbuena said.
