Contractor management in the Philippines

Hiring contractors in the Philippines can be a strategic and cost-effective way for businesses to complete projects without the obligations of hiring full-time employees. Whether you are engaging independent contractors for specialized services or working with subcontractors, understanding the country’s legal and tax requirements is essential.

Understanding contractor classification in the Philippines

The Philippines has specific labor laws that distinguish between employees and independent contractors. Misclassification can lead to penalties, so businesses must ensure proper classification based on factors like work autonomy, payment structure, and project-based engagements. Contractors typically operate under a service agreement, and businesses do not provide benefits like social security or health insurance.
