The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) reminded recruitment firms about their role in setting work contracts and other travel requirements of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), emphasizing that travel and employment documents of the OFW hired at least one week prior departure.
The reason for such is for the OFWs to be given enough time to read, understand and review the contracts which they have signed. OFWs are obliged to read and fully understand what are written in their employment contacts before accepting a job offer and signing it.
The OFWs can also request for adjustments in case discrepancies or errors need to be corrected.
