What to watch out for in job contracting and subcontracting

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 decisionmakers, 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 Thursday, April 16, 2015 at Edsa ShangriLa Hotel, Mandaluyong City. For details and a complete list of seminars including Best Practices in Crafting HR Policies and Contracts, Best Practices In Crafting Your HR Code of Discipline, A Guide To Valid Dismissal, How To Structure and Compute for Wages and Salaries with the New Tax Exemption Limits, 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; Baguio line (074) 423-5148; and Legazpi Line (052) 736-0148.

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 14 labor books, Atty. Elvin Villanueva. His seminar is inspired by his book on Valid Job Contracting and subcontracting. The lecture will provide you valuable insights and lessons you want to learn other than reading what's in the book. Interested participants are encouraged to avail of the early bird and group discounts. This is a limited-seats-only event and preregistration is required.
