Document background
The Regular Employment Contract is the primary document used to establish permanent employment relationships in the Philippines. It serves as a comprehensive agreement between employers and employees, detailing the terms and conditions of employment while ensuring compliance with the Philippine Labor Code, social legislation, and related employment laws. This document is essential when hiring permanent employees (as opposed to fixed-term or project-based workers) and must incorporate mandatory provisions regarding probationary periods, statutory benefits, and working conditions. The contract should be used after the successful completion of pre-employment requirements and before the employee's start date, forming the basis of the ongoing employment relationship and reflecting both parties' rights and obligations under Philippine law.
