Document background
The Job Order Letter is a crucial document in Philippine employment practice, used when organizations need to engage workers for temporary, seasonal, or project-specific work. This type of agreement is particularly common in both government agencies and private sector organizations where work requirements are time-bound or project-based. The document must comply with Philippine labor laws, including the Labor Code and DOLE regulations, while clearly distinguishing the arrangement from regular employment. A Job Order Letter typically includes specific details about the work duration, compensation, duties, and working conditions, ensuring transparency and legal compliance while protecting both employer and worker interests. It's especially relevant for short-term projects, seasonal work, or specific deliverable-based assignments where a full employment contract would not be appropriate.
