Foreign employers/principals who wish to engage in the services of Placewell International Services Corporation need to comply with the laws of the Philippine government, specifically the Department of Migrant Workers or DMW’s rules and regulations on the recruitment and hiring of Filipino workers.

Execution of a Special Power of Attorney

A foreign employer needs to authorize PISCO to recruit and deploy workers for and on its behalf. The authorization covers the signing, cancellation, renewal, and execution of all pertinent workers’ papers and documents, as well as legal representation for the foreign employer in all Philippine government offices and agencies.

Registration of Foreign Principal

A foreign principal needs to register with the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) of the Department of Migrant Workers in the country where the employer operates or where the worker is to be assigned. PISCO assists its foreign principal in this process. Prior to registration, the foreign principal must complete the following documents:

-Special Power of Attorney (See above)
-ID of Authorized Signatory
-Master Employment Contract (Department Of Migrant Workers Standard Contract)
-Manpower Request or Job Order
-Visa Copy
-Foreign employer’s business license, registration certificate, or equivalent document verified by the Ministry of Commerce
-Standard Employment Contract
-Contingency Plan
-Recruitment Agreement
-Undertaking Landbased
-List of Filipino Workers
-Colored picture of worksite and accommodation of Filipino Worker

Issuance of Manpower Request or Job Order

The foreign principal issues the manpower request or job order, which is verified by the POLO. Verification involves the act of establishing the existence of the employing person, project, or company and its capability to hire foreign workers at acceptable rates at desirable conditions, in conformity with the minimum standards prescribed by the Philippine government and the relevant laws of the host country.

All documents described above must be stamped by the local chamber of commerce in the country of the foreign employees authenticated by the Philippine Embassy/Consulate and accredited at DMW. After these procedures, PISCO sets the wheel in motion for the recruitment and hiring of the needed workers.
