Event Details
During the early outbreak of COVID-19 and the initial lockdowns which disrupted commercial activities, many businesses were forced to make difficult personnel decisions to remain sustainable—one of which is temporary layoffs. Philippine labor laws allow such actions for a period not exceeding six months. After which, organizations decide either to recall or retrench their staff. As most companies approach the six-month deadline, employers now look for guidance on how best to optimize their resources by ensuring compliance with labor regulations while looking out for the people they need to let go.
Join us for a special virtual session as we unpack the essentials on corporate rightsizing. Atty. Patrick Henry Salazar of Quisumbing Torres will discuss legal considerations governing pay, benefits, and notice requirements to help your company lawfully exercise its management prerogative while Jo Ann Rosary Asetre of Lee Hecht Harrison will share insights, case studies, and best practices on how your team can provide the proper support and counsel to the affected people. This webinar seeks to address the underlying uncertainties and anxieties surrounding such actions by balancing your heart to your people and responsibility to the organization.
