Best practices in job contracting and subcontracting

MANILA, Philippines - As the principals in contracting relationships, employers are not liable for the claims of individuals deployed by contractors since these persons are not their employees. However, there are pitfalls which, if companies fail to avoid, can make them liable for various employment claims as if the workers of contractors are their employees.

To avoid such costly mistakes, Center for Global Best Practices invites business owners, management decision-makers, HR practitioners, lawyers and all those in outsourcing businesses to attend this one-day pioneering seminar entitled “Best Practices Guide to Valid Job Contracting and Subcontracting” scheduled on Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City. This program is MCLE-accredited by the Supreme Court of the Philippines. For details and a complete list of seminars, you may log on to www.cgbp.org or call (02) 842-7148/ 59 and 556-8968/ 69; Cebu lines (032) 512-3106 or 07 or Baguio telephone (074) 423-5148.

Mistakes committed in dealing with contractors will hound companies relating to liabilities such as illegal dismissal, back wages, reinstatement, separation pay, money claims, SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-Ibig and social legislation benefits, among others. This can cost you millions of losses years ahead when unchecked and unresolved. With that, you have to make sure that you know all the technicalities, strategies and best practices to ensure that you prevent liabilities from unnecessary labor claims and illegal dismissal judgements.

Learn all these from labor law practitioner, HR expert and author of 11 labor books, lawyer Elvin Villanueva, who will launch his 12th book entitled Valid Contracting and Subcontracting during this seminar as a topic focus. Free copy of the featured book will be given to participants of this learning event.
