HB 2712

In plain language

The bill changes the law on overseas Filipino workers so that a special labor court must decide money‑claim cases within 90 days, makes both employers and recruitment agencies fully liable, requires agencies to post a performance bond, guarantees faster payment of settlements, gives workers reimbursement of placement fees with interest if they are unfairly dismissed, and orders the labor department to provide training and livelihood help to returning workers.
