Philippine Accreditation Procedure Support

“Accreditation and Registration Procedure” is required for overseas employment of Filipino workers.

・Overseas employment of Filipino workers is important for the Philippines as inflow of remittance from them accounts for about 15% of GDP.

・To protect overseas Filipino workers, the Philippine government requires overseas employer as accepting organization to follow “Accreditation and Registration Procedure”.

・For this procedure, overseas employer is required to directly enter into recruitment agreement (※) with a Filipino licensed recruiting agent as sending organization and the two parties of the agreement are registered with POEA. Their recruited Filipino workers are tied to this accreditation and registration.

※The recruitment agreement above between accepting organization (=employer) and sending organization is needed, in addition to Employment placement contract between Employer(=Monet Recruit client) and Monet Recruit.

・・・This recruitment agreement has a provision of joint and several liability of the parties for protection of Filipino worker, which is the main objective of “Accreditation and Registration Procedure”.
・・・Overseas employer can enter into recruitment agreement with only one sending organization, and multiple agreements with plural sending organizations are not allowed under certain conditions provided by POEA related laws and rules.

・All of the accreditation application documents must be developed and submitted to POLO in English and the interview with POLO is conducted in English

・Recruiting activities are allowed only after the accreditation procedure is completed by POEA.
