The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has intensified its inspection campaign to make sure that employers are complying with the country’s labor laws.
In a statement, DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said that the intensified inspection program is contained in Administrative Order No. 281, which outlines the implementing guidelines of Project Labor Enforcement and Action Program (LEAP).
According to Sec. Baldoz, Project LEAP is part of DOLE’s share in the reform process of the new administration that aims to protect workers’ rights through the attainment of a culture of compliance with labor laws among establishments nationwide.
Project LEAP will have two phases. Phase one will start from August 2, 2010 until November 30, 2010. The second phase will stretch through the months of February to November 2011. The project will cover all establishments employing 10 to 199 workers. Priority establishments include security agencies, manpower agencies, subcontractors, cooperatives, manufacturing establishments, restaurants, and fast food enterprises. Other establishments other than the said companies will also be inspected but on a non-priority basis.
Priority areas include major cities, urban centers, special economic zones, industrial estates, and other areas having the highest concentration of establishments eligible for inspection.
Among the core labor standards to be inspected are compliance on minimum wage, emergency cost of living allowance (ECOLA), 13th month pay, holiday pay, service incentive leave, overtime pay, night-shift differential, Social Security System (SSS), Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-ibig) and Philhealth contributions.
DOLE aims to inspect at least 35,680 establishments throughout the project’s duration by utilizing all 223 labor and technical safety inspectors in the 16 DOLE Regional Offices nationwide. Each office is tasked to inspect 10 establishments per week.
The Labor chief stressed that the protection of workers’ rights is a primary component of President Benigno Simeon 'Noynoy' Aquino III’s agenda on labor and employment.
