The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has launched its unified registration system (URS) for “kasambahays.”
DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said in a statement that with the URS operational, they expect higher compliance with the Kasambahay Law.
She said this will ensure the country’s estimated 2.9 million household service workers (HSWs) will have the necessary social protection mandated by law.
“This will facilitate and streamline registration and facilitation processes through further refinement of the Kasambahay URS which would ultimately lead to household employers and domestic workers availing of our services and other programs wherever they are and at their own free time,” Baldoz said.
Under the URS, which was launched Tuesday, employers would only have to accomplish one form to register their HSWs at the Social Security System (SSS), Pag-IBIG, and PhilHealth.
“The three agencies will share the data and issue their respective membership identification numbers to the registrants. The registration is the proverbial three-in-one,” Baldoz said.
Baldoz said employers and HSWs could obtain the form in any offices or websites of the three said agencies.
The three-paged form includes the Household Employer Unified Registration Form, Kasambahay Unified Registration Form, and the Household Employment Unified Report Form.
