An Act Providing Further Employment Opportunities for Senior Citizens by Granting Increased Incentives to Private Entities That Employ Senior Citizens, Amending for the Purpose Republic Act No. 9994, Otherwise Known as the “expanded Senior Citizen Act of 2010”

In plain language

The Seniors Employment Opportunities Act would let companies that hire senior citizens deduct 25 % of the wages they pay those seniors from their taxable income, as long as the job lasts at least six months and the senior’s yearly earnings stay below the poverty line; it also requires firms to give senior workers the same PhilHealth coverage as other staff.
