The Department of Labor and Employment released its
orders to Regularize at Least 500 Workers in its Difference Branches.
DOLE said it issued the order after it found the nine
branches in the region to be engaged in labor only contracting activities in
addition the Department of Labor regional office also ordered Jollibee Fooods
Corp. and its contractors to pay unauthorized deductions totaling 775,050 Pesos
to the affected employees including its proof of remittances with the SSS,
PhilHealth, and Pag-Ibig to secure workers' social welfare benefits.
The compliance order issued by Department of Labor were 3
Jollibee branches in Puerto Princesa City in Palawan, 5 in Oriental Mindoro,
and 1 in Romblon. Jollibee which is the one of the Largest Fast Food in the
Philippines has more than 750 stores in the Philippines. The Department of
Labor pointed out the Jollibee and its 3 Contractors should regularize employees
who it said were found to be performing activities which are directly related
to its fast food chain operations.
The Department of Labor regional labor inspectors saw
violations including the lack of substantial capital of the contractors. They
noted the deployed employees use the principal's equipment and tools in
performing the outsourced services. Worse, the DOLE said it found
non-compliance by the contractors with Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)
standards, due to the lack of trained safety officers and failing to submit OSH
reports. The Department of Labor ordered Jollibee Foods Inc. and its
contractors to immediately issue appointment letters and payroll reflecting the
entitlements of the affected workers as regular employees.
