Around 3.9 million workers in the country are assured they received the mandated pay and other benefits from employers after the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) launched the new labor inspection system.
Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said more companies have voluntarily applied to undergo through the Labor Laws Compliance System (LLCS).
“Since the implementation of the Labor Laws Compliance System (LLCS) companies posted higher compliance rate, particularly in minimum wage law,” Baldoz said.
Last year, DOLE revamped the LLCS so labor inspectors will not only perform the usual assessment functions but also offer productivity improvement and employer-employee cooperation modules.
Since the enforcement of the new LLCS, Baldoz disclosed the number of companies compliant to labor regulations, particularly minimum wage, has increased from 84.9 percent in the previous year into 87.8 percent.
