What is different about hiring in the Philippines

The Philippines has one of the largest English-speaking workforces in Asia, with strong representation across technology, finance, healthcare and hospitality. Metro Manila dominates demand, with Cebu and a handful of regional hubs adding capacity particularly in shared services and BPO-adjacent roles.

The statutory framework adds costs that belong in planning from the outset. 13th month pay is mandatory for all rank-and-file employees and equals one full month's salary payable in December. Employer contributions to SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG are mandatory regardless of role level. Combined, these push the true annual cost of a hire to approximately 13.5 months of base salary at minimum before additional benefits are added.

Hiring Filipino nationals is straightforward. Hiring foreign nationals requires an Alien Employment Permit from the Department of Labor and Employment, which requires demonstrating that no qualified Filipino is available for the role, plus a 9(g) work visa. This process typically adds four to eight weeks to the timeline versus a domestic hire, so it should be identified and started at the point the role is briefed, not after an offer is made.

Frequently asked questions

What statutory costs sit on top of base salary?

13th month pay (one full month's salary, statutory and non-negotiable) plus employer contributions to SSS (social security), PhilHealth (health insurance) and Pag-IBIG (housing fund). Budget at roughly 13.5 months of base cost at minimum, before any additional benefits.

How does hiring a foreign national work?

Foreign hires need an Alien Employment Permit from DOLE confirming no qualified Filipino is available for the role, plus a 9(g) work visa. Combined processing typically adds four to eight weeks versus hiring a Filipino national.

What is the standard notice period?

30 days is the statutory minimum and the standard in most employment contracts. Management contracts sometimes specify longer.
