In this video I correct some important information from my previous discussion about hiring helpers in the Philippines. After uploading that video, I learned more about the legal responsibilities employers have under Philippine law, including requirements involving 13th month pay and government benefits for household helpers.
I wanted to make this follow-up video quickly so viewers have more accurate information before making decisions.
One thing I appreciate about living in the Philippines is continuing to learn how different systems and cultural expectations work compared to the west. Sometimes we learn in public, and I think it is important to correct mistakes when new information comes up.
If you are an expat considering hiring a helper in the Philippines, make sure you understand the legal responsibilities involved before moving forward.
Thanks for watching and for all the helpful comments and corrections from viewers.
