BAGUIO CITY -- The Department of Labor and Employment in the Cordillera started profiling establishments practicing contractualization or  end of contract “endo” employment.
DOLE technical support services division  chief  Emerito Narag said as of August,  the started monitoring to identify establishments, practicing “endo” employment.
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III earlier ordered the DOLE regional offices to come up with the list of establishments which are into contractualization.
This is in line with efforts to realize the pronouncements of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to abolish the unlawful contractualization scheme, which he described as unfair labor practice and tool for exploitation against Filipino workers.
Narag explained that contractualization is a work arrangement whereby workers are only hired for only about five months without security of tenure, monetary, non-monetary, and social protection benefits.  Establishments which practice unlawful contractualization deprive workers of overtime, holiday pay, and other benefits.
The marching order for DOLE is to reduce the endo system by 50 percent at the end of 2016 and to put a stop to the system by end of 2017. -- JDP/MAWC – PIA
