There were articles in the local papers that were about the discussions of amending the labor laws for domestic help/"service lady" at a house (not hired by a business), specifically around adding them to the requirements for insurance, liquidation rights, etc.
My question is: Has the labor laws for domestic help been amended? If yes, what are they now?
If not yet (or no), does it look like they will amend the law for domestic help?
I ask because they additional requirements will most likely put the possibility of having a Service Lady outside of being able to afford. I would pay her a decent rate per month (probably 10,000 pesos/month), and plan for her vacation time and "13th month" Christmas bonus - but if I start adding to many other things, then that will push it outside my budget.
If anybody knows, I appreciate the info. Thanks.
There are people who think the new labor requirements for domestic help has already happened. But I have not found anything after the discussion of the Secretary of Labor looking into the amendment adding domestic help, so it looks like domestic help at a house for a family is not under any new laws around liquidation or those other things...
Does anyone know??
