De-Confusing Contractualization: Defining Employees Engaged in Precarious Work in the Philippines

handle is hein.journals/philplj88 and id is 356 raw text is: DE-CONFUSING CONTRACTUALIZATION: DEFINING EMPLOYEES ENGAGED IN PRECARIOUS WORK IN THE PHILIPPINES* NOTE Mey Ann Emerie A. Cristobal* Efren II K Resurrection* ABSTRACT In the face of laws that are now insufficient to address the growing need to protect the increasing population of precarious workers in the Philippines, there is a need to clarify the coverage of the term contractual worker in order to allow the laws to accord them rights and benefits. This paper seeks to allow the law to conform to the social understanding of employment relations. The proposed definition encompasses all employees under contract but not deemed regular, including those with direct contracts with their employers, and clarifies which type of employment regime prevails over each class. It also addresses the ambiguities left by the law on labor-only subcontracting by incorporating into the Labor Code the distinctions found in jurisprudence. It is hoped that, in introducing these definitions, along with proposed benefits in the form of specific labor standards and mechanisms to allow for unionization, the law may help alleviate the precariousness that threatens contractual employees.
