Kasambahay bill settled
The congressional bicameral conference committee on Tuesday night reconciled conflicting provisions of the proposed Domestic Workers Act, or the Kasambahay Bill, bringing the measure a step closer to being enacted into law.
Members of the bicameral committee agreed to set maids’ minimum monthly wage at no less than P2,500 a month for those employed in the National Capital Region; P2,000 a month for those in chartered cities and first-class municipalities; and P1,500 a month for those employed in other municipalities.
The House panel consisted of Aurora Rep. Edgardo Angara, Northern Samar Rep. Emil Ong, Cagayan Rep. Juan Ponce Enrile Jr., Cagayan de Oro Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, Valenzuela Rep. Magtanggol Gunigundo, Iloilo Rep. Janette Garin, Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman and Zambales Rep. Ma. Milagros Magsaysay.
On the other hand, the Senate was represented by Senators Jinggoy Estrada, Loren Legarda, Pia Cayetano, Bong Revilla Jr. and Lito Lapid.
The lawmakers hope to ratify the measure’s final version within the week or early next week and send the bill to Malacanang for the President’s signature.
After one year from its effectivity, the bill requires the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards to review and adjust the minimum wage rates of maids as needed.
Aside from pay standardization, the bicameral conference committee report also provided that domestic workers will be entitled to other social benefits provided under existing laws, like Social Security System, Philhealth and Pag-Ibig Fund.
Premium payments will be shouldered by employers if the helpers receive a monthly salary below P5,000.
If the salary is P5,000 and above, payment of SSS and Pag-ibig contributions will be shared by both the employer and helper, while Philhealth premiums will still be paid in full by the employer, the reconciled bill stated.
The reconciled bill also entitles domestic workers who have rendered at least one year of service to an annual service incentive leave of five days with pay, as well as 13th month pay.
Furthermore, employers are prohibited from placing their helpers under debt bondage, as well as from hiring minors below 15 years.
They must also allow their helpers to finish basic education and access higher education, technical and vocational training, or other alternative learning systems
