PRE-EMPLOYMENT
RECRUITMENT AND PLACEMENT OF WORKERS
WHAT DOES THE TERM RECRUITMENT AND PLACEMENT EMBRACE?
The term "recruitment and placement" refers to any act of canvassing, enlisting,
contracting, transporting, utilizing, hiring or procuring workers, and includes referrals,
contract services, promising or advertising for employment, locally or abroad, whether for
profit or not: Provided, That any person or entity which, in any manner, offers or promises
for a fee employment to two or more persons shall be deemed engaged in recruitment
9
and placement.
NOTES: Any person who commits the prohibited acts enumerated in Art. 13(b) of the Labor
code shall be liable under Art. 38(a) thereof which considers any recruitment activity undertaken
by non-licensed or non-holders of authority as illegal.
WHAT IS REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8042 AND DULY APPROVED OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PHILIPPINES IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED ON JUNE 7,
1995?
It is an Act to institute the policies of overseas employment and establish a higher
standard of protection and promotion of the welfare of migrant workers, their families, and
overseas Filipinos in distress and for other purposes.
As its short title, the Act shall be known and cited as the Migrant Workers and Overseas
Filipinos Act of 1995.
WHO IS A MIGRANT WORKER?
Migrant worker refers to a person who is to be engaged or has been engaged in a
remunerated activity in a state which he or she is not a legal resident; to be used
interchangeably with Overseas Filipino Worker.

That the offender had no valid license or authority required by law to enable one to
lawfully engage in recruitment and placement of workers;

That the offender undertakes either any activity within the meaning of recruitment and
the placement as defined by Art. 13(b) or any prohibited practice enumerated under
Art. 34 of the Labor Code of the Philippines.

a.
b.
Any person who is neither a licensee nor a holder of authority commits the
second type of illegal recruitment. The penalty imposed for such offense is:
imprisonment of not less than 4 years nor more than 8 years or a fine of not less
Page 10 of 25
than P20,000.00 nor more than P100,000.00 or both such imprisonment and fine
at the discretion of the court.
c.
The third type of illegal recruitment refers to offenders who either commit the
offense ALONE OR WITH ANOTHER PERSON against 3 or more persons
individually or as a group;
d.
th
For the 3 and 4 types of illegal recruitment, the law prescribes the penalty of life
11
imprisonment and a fine of P100,000.00.
NOTES: Class, please note that the real nature of a criminal charge is determined not from
the technical name given by the fiscal appearing in the title of the information but by the actual
recital of facts appearing in the complaint or information. Thus, where the allegations in the
information clearly set forth the essential elements of the crime charged, the constitutional right of
the accused to be informed of the nature and cause of his accusations is not violated.
Thus, if it is shown by the prosecution that the person charged is not licensed or authorized to
recruit overseas workers, and undertook recruitment activities defined under Article 34 of the
Labor Code and he recruited 4 persons, the crime of illegal recruitment in large scale is
12
committed.
13
In People vs. Benzon Ong, the Supreme Court said that: In order to prove Illegal Recruitment,
it must be shown that the accused-appellant gave the complainants the distinct impression that
he had the power or ability to send complainants abroad for work such that the latter were
convinced to part with their money in order to be employed.
MAY THE CONVICTION OF A PERSON FOR ILLEGAL RECRUITMENT UNDER THE LABOR
CODE BAR THE PUNISHMENT OF THE OFFENDER FOR ESTAFA UNDER THE REVISED
PENAL CODE?
NO. Illegal recruitment is a malum prohibitum offense where criminal intent of the
accused is not necessary for conviction while estafa is malum in se which requires
criminal intent to warrant conviction. Under Art. 316 par. 2(a) of the Revised Penal Code,
the elements of the offense (estafa) are that the accused has defrauded another by
abuse of confidence or by means of deceit and that damage or prejudice capable of
pecuniary estimation is caused to the offended parties. If these elements are clearly
shown, then conviction for illegal recruitment under a special law (such as the labor code)
and estafa under the Revised Penal Code may be had.
NOTES: Generally, recruitment of a person for employment without the necessary
recruiting permit or authority from the appropriate government offices constitute illegal recruitment
and where some other crimes or felonies are committed in the process, conviction under the labor
14
code does not preclude punishment under other statutes.

WHAT GOVERNMENT AGENCY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COUNTRYS TECHNICAL
EDUCATION, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT? WHAT IS IT SUPPOSE TO ACCOMPLISH?
Implementation of the National Manpower Development Program was the responsibility
of the National Manpower and Youth Council. But the NMYC has been replaced by and
its functions absorbed by the Technical Educations and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) created under RA 7796, known as the TESDA Act of 1994.

NOTES: The right to control shall refer to the rights reserved to the person for whom the
services performed, to determine not only the ends to be achieved, but also the manner and
means to be used in reaching that end.
CITE AN OBSERVATION OF THE HONORABLE SUPREME COURT AS TO THE
CONSEQUENCE OF EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP.
The question of whether an employer-employee relationship exists in a certain situation
CONTINUES TO BEDEVIL THE COURTS. Some businessmen try to avoid the bringing
about of an employer-employee relationship in their enterprise because that judicial
relation spawns obligation to be connected with workmens compensation, social
30
security, medicare, minimum wage, termination pay, and unionism.
27

Page 16 of 25
AS ONE OF THE CRITERIA IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF EMPLOYEREMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP, IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR AN EMPLOYER TO ACTUALLY
EXERCISE THE SO-CALLED CONTROL TEST?
The power or control refers to the existence of the power and not necessarily to the
actual exercise thereof. It is not essential, in other words, for the employer to actually
31
supervise the performance of duties to wield that power.
In short, an employer-employee relationship exists where the person for whom the
services are performed reserves a right to control not only the end to be achieved but
32
also the means to be used in reaching such an end
but, consider that not every form of
control in relation to the service being rendered may be accorded the effect of
establishing an employer-employee relationship as when an underwriter, who from time
to time is bound by company policies, memo, circular, rules and regulations, is also not
indicative of control.
EXPLAIN THE BASIC PRECEPT FAIR DAYS WAGE FOR A FAIR DAYS LABOR.
A fair days wage for a fair days labor governs the relations between labor and capital
and remains a basic factor in determining employees wages. If there is no work
performed by the employee, there can be no wage or pay unless the laborer was able,
willing, and ready to work but was prevented by management or was illegally locked out,
33
suspended or dismissed.
DISTINGUISH FACILITIES FROM SUPPLEMENTS.
Supplements constitute extra remuneration or special privileges or benefits given to or
received by the laborer over and above their ordinary earnings or wages.
Facilities, on the other hand, are items of expense necessary for the laborers and his
familys existence and subsistence, so that by express provision of law, they form part of
the wage and when furnished by the employer are deductible therefrom, since if they are
34
not so furnished, the laborer would spend and pay for them just the same.
STATE THE GENERAL PRINCIPLE ON A WORKERS ENTITLEMENT TO SERVICE
INCENTIVE LEAVE OF FIVE DAYS EACH YEAR?
Under Article 95 (a) of the Labor Code, every employee who has rendered at least one
year of service shall be entitled to a yearly incentive leave of five days with pay.
NOTES: Since a service incentive leave is clearly demandable after one year of service
whether continuous or broken- or its equivalent period, and is one of the benefits which would
have accrued if an employee was not otherwise illegally dismissed. It is fair and legal that its
computation should be up to the date of reinstatement as provided under Article 279 of the Labor
35
Code, as amended.
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ONE YEAR OF SERVICE IN DETERMINING THE 5-DAYS
SERVICE INCENTIVE LEAVE OF A COVERED EMPLOYEE?
31
32
33
34
35
Page 17 of 25
The phrase one-year of service of the employee means service within 12 months,
whether continuous or broken, reckoned from the date the employee started working.
The period includes authorized absence, unworked weekly rest days, and paid regular
holidays. Where by individual or collective agreement, practice or policy the period of
working days is less than 12 months, said period shall be considered as one year for the
purpose of determining entitlement to the service incentive leave.
BY EXPRESS PROVISION OF LAW, WHO ARE NOT ENTITLED TO SERVICE INCENTIVE
LEAVE?
The following are, by express provision of law not entitled to Service Incentive Leave:
a.
Those from the government and any of its political subdivisions, including
government owned and controlled corporation;
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
Those enjoying vacation leave with pay of at least five days; and

for another and receives compensation therefor, provided an employer-employee relationship

To compensate the worker for his physical and mental efforts for hours worked beyond

Also, it could be viewed as a penalty imposed by society on the employer. The worker is
granted an additional pay in concept of penalty for having been deprived of time for
relaxation, amusement or sports and for opportunity to contribute the community or other
business engagement.
Finally, the requirement of overtime pay is a governmental measure to promote full
employment, because it forces employers to hire more workers for every 8 hour period.

WHEN IS A WORKPLACE CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS?
A workplace is considered hazardous:
1.
When the nature of the work exposes workers to dangerous environmental elements,
contamination or work conditions including ionization, radiation, chemicals, fire,
flammable substances, noxious components, and the like;
2.
When the workers are engaged in construction work, logging, firefighting, mining,
quarrying, blasting, stevedoring, dock work, deep sea fishing, and mechanized farming;
3.
Where the workers are engaged in the manufacture or handling of explosives and other
pyrotechnic products;
4.
Where the workers use or are exposed to heavy or power driven machinery or equipment
and where they have exposed to power-driven tools.
Page 24 of 25
Page 25 of 25
work at any time, nor to devote their time exclusively to working for the company not to
submit a record of their activities, and who finally shouldered their own selling and
transportation expenses.
Logically, the line should be drawn between rules that merely serve as guidelines
towards the achievement of the mutually desired result without dictating the means or
methods to be employed in attaining it, and those that control or fix the methodology and
bind or restrict the party hired to the use of such means. The first, which aim only to
promote the result, create no employer-employee relationship unlike the second, which
address both the result and the means used to achieve it. The distinction acquires
particular relevance in the case of an enterprise affected with public interest, as is the
business of insurance, and is on that account subject to regulation by the State with
respect, not only to the relations between insurer and insured but also to the internal
affairs of the insurance company.
WHEN IS THERE LABOR-ONLY CONTRACTING?
There is labor-only contracting where the person supplying workers to an employer does
not have substantial capital or investment in the form of tools, equipment, machineries,
work premises, are performing activities which are directly related to the principal
business of the employer. In such cases, the person or intermediary shall be considered
merely as an agent of the employer who shall be responsible to the workers in the same
43
manner and extent as if the latter were directly employed by him.
In other words,
laway lang ang puhunan!
NOTES: Should the contractor fail to pay the wages of his employees in accordance with
the Labor Code, the employer who contracted out the jobs becomes jointly and severally liable
with the contractor to the extent of the work performed under the contract as if such employer
44
were the employer of the contractors employee
AS TO PURPOSE, WHAT DIFFERS SEPARATION PAY FROM RETIREMENT PAY?
Separation pay is a statutory right designed to provide the employee with the wherewithal
during the period that he is looking for another employment while retirement benefits are
intended to help the employee enjoy the remaining years of his life lessening the burden
of worrying for his financial support and a form of reward for his loyalty and service to the
45
employer.
ARE SEAMEN ENTITLED TO OVERTIME PAY FOR EVERY HOUR IN EXCESS OF REGULAR
WORKING HOURS THAT THEY WERE ON BOARD THEIR VESSEL EACH DAY,
IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THEY ARE ACTUALLY PUT TO WORK DURING THOSE
HOURS?
No. The correct criterion in determining whether or not sailors are entitled to overtime pay
is not therefore, whether they were on board and cannot leave the ship beyond the
regular eight working hours a day, but whether they actually rendered service in excess
46
of said number of hours.
Page 26 of 25

1.
The duration of the specific/identified undertaking for which the worker is engaged is
reasonably determined;
2.
3.
4.
The employee, while not employed awaiting engagement, is free to offer his services
to any other employer;
5.
Page 27 of 25
6.
NOTES: Employers, especially in the construction industry, must file as many reports on
termination as there are construction projects actually finished to show that in fact his workers are
project employees who were hired and rehired for various projects and/or other phases thereof.
50
Failure to do so could mean that his workers are truly regular employees.
WHO IS A CONTRACTUAL EMPLOYEE?
He is one whose work is for a short duration and the work assignment may possibly be
related to the usual business or trade of the employer.
NOTES: If the worker is hired and re-hired in different periods to do the same work for the
employer, it is sufficient proof of the necessity and indispensability of the service. When such
work exceeds One (1) year, an employee may be entitled to be considered a REGULAR
employee.
For Example: Jimmy Calamba was hired by the Baguio Country Club to do various task
intermittently as gardener, laborer and dishwasher. He was hired and re-hired for more than one
(1) year. The Supreme Court held: Although the employee was hired for Fixed Periods but
repeatedly hired until he accumulated more than one year of service, the continuing need for his
services were sufficient evidence of the necessity and indispensability of his services to the
51
business of his employer. Jimmy Calamba was considered as a regular employee.
WHO IS A PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEE?
A probationary employee is one on trial by an employer during which the employer
determines whether or not he is qualified for permanent employment. A probationary
appointment is made to afford the employer an opportunity to observe the fitness of a
probationary employee while at work, and to ascertain whether he will become a proper
52
and efficient employee.
WHAT ARE THE RIGHTS, IF ANY, OF A PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEE?
Probationary employees, notwithstanding their limited tenure, are also entitled to security
of tenure. Thus, except for just cause as provided by law, or under the employment
53
contract, a probationary employee cannot be terminated.
WHEN MAY A PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEE BE TERMINATED?
A probationary employee may be terminated on two (2) grounds:

principles designed to promote industrial peace based on social justice or to align labor
movement relations with established priorities in economic and social development. In calling
such conference, the Secretary of Labor and Employment may consult with accredited
representatives of workers and employers. (As amended by RA 6715)
HOW LONG IS THE PROBATIONARY PERIOD OF PROFESSORS, INSTRUCTORS AND
TEACHERS IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS?
Three (3) years pursuant to paragraph 76 of the Manual of Regulations for Private Schools, to wit:
Full time teachers who have rendered three consecutive years of satisfactory service shall be
considered permanent.
WHAT ARE THE REQUISITES FOR A TEACHER IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO ACQUIRE
PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT?
(a) The teacher is a full time teacher;
(b) The teacher must have rendered three (3) consecutive years of service; and
(c) Such service must have been satisfactory.
WHO IS A FULL TIME TEACHER?
He is one whose total working day is devoted to the school, has no other regular
remunerative employment, and is paid on a regular monthly basis regardless of the
number of teaching hours.
IN COLLEGE, WHAT IS THE NORMAL TEACHING LOAD OF A FULL TIME INSTRUCTOR?
It shall be eighteen (18) hours a month.
NOTES: A part time member of the faculty cannot acquire permanent employment under
the Manual of Regulation for Private Schools in relation to the Labor Code.
