UniTeam senatorial candidate Jinggoy Estrada says that he will file a bill establishing the rights and obligations of workers and employers operating under a hybrid work set-up, which involves a mix of on-site and work-from-home operations.
“If an employee chooses to work from home, employers must pay them proper compensation, benefits and allowances. While workers enjoy the benefits of not leaving home, their employers also save on utility costs like electricity and water, as well as office rental,” Estrada said in correspondence with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) on Friday, Feb. 18.
