DESCRIPTION:

Kasambahays or domestic helpers play a vital role in many Filipino households, their sector is considered to be one of the most vulnerable in society due to the nature of their work. Thus, it is incumbent upon the government to ensure that kasambahays are provided safe and humane working conditions and are given the support they need.

Republic Act No. 10361, otherwise known as “Domestic Workers Act” or “Batas Kasambahay”, is the main piece of legislation governing the employment relationship between kasambahays and their employers. The law and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) detail, among others, the process of hiring a kasambahay and the rights of a kasambahay.
