The Domestic Worker Contract is a legally mandated document in the Philippines, required under Republic Act No. 10361 (Batas Kasambahay) for all domestic employment relationships. This contract should be used whenever engaging a domestic worker (kasambahay) for household services, whether full-time or part-time, live-in or live-out. It ensures compliance with Philippine labor laws and provides protection for both employers and domestic workers. The document must be registered with the local barangay authority and includes comprehensive details about employment terms, compensation, benefits, working conditions, and obligations of both parties. It serves as a crucial legal document that helps prevent labor disputes and ensures proper documentation of domestic employment relationships in accordance with Philippine regulations.
