Document background
The Employee Contract Agreement serves as the foundational document establishing the employment relationship in the Philippine context. This document is essential when hiring new employees or formalizing existing employment relationships in the Philippines, ensuring compliance with the Labor Code of the Philippines and related employment legislation. It outlines crucial elements including compensation, benefits, working conditions, and termination procedures, while incorporating mandatory provisions required by Philippine law such as social security coverage, health insurance, and workers' protection. The agreement should be used at the commencement of employment or when updating terms for existing employees, providing both parties with clear understanding of their rights, obligations, and expectations within the employment relationship.
