The Department of Labor and Employment on Monday issued guidelines on how best employers can protect jobs, and prevent layoffs and retrenchments amid the COVID-19 health pandemic.
In Labor Advisory No. 17, the Labor department “highly encouraged” work-from-home and telecommuting for employees in businesses and industries already allowed to resume operations under the modified enhanced community quarantine or general community quarantine.
“The above alternative work schemes/flexible work arrangements are temporary in nature and shall be adopted for as long as the public health crisis exist,” the advisory read. In instances when termination of employment becomes unavoidable, the advisory said emoluments for workers removed for cause should follow the provisions of existing laws.
