Legal & Fees Policy
My Workers operates in full compliance with Republic Act No. 8042 (Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995),
as amended by Republic Act No. 10022, and all current regulations of the
Department of Migrant Workers (DMW)
We do not charge illegal placement fees, and we do not take one month’s salary from any worker.
Our fees are transparent, limited, and strictly within the bounds of Philippine law.
Legal Basis: No Placement Fees
RA 8042 – Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995
Section 51 – Free Placement
“No placement fees shall be charged from migrant workers.”
RA 10022 – Amendment to RA 8042 (2010)
Section 6 – Illegal Recruitment (Expanded)
“Charging or accepting directly or indirectly any amount greater than that specified in the schedule of allowable fees prescribed by the Secretary of Labor” is illegal recruitment.
Household Service Workers (HSWs) are fully protected under RA 10022 and must not be charged any placement fees.
Our Fee Structure
1. No Salary-Based Placement Fees
Our agency does not collect placement fees equivalent to one month’s salary. We do not take a portion of the worker’s salary as a fee.
“Our agency does not collect placement fees equivalent to one month’s salary. In accordance with Republic Act No. 8042, as amended by RA 10022, we only charge a minimal service fee strictly limited to authorized, non-placement cost items permitted under DMW regulations.”
2. Small, Itemized Service Fee
We only collect a small, clearly itemized service fee to cover legitimate administrative and support services, such as:
- Document coordination and handling
- Application assistance and interview scheduling
- Communication and support services
- Operational costs for maintaining worker–employer support systems
This fee is not based on salary, not a placement fee, and fully compliant with RA 8042, RA 10022, and DMW rules.
3. No Hidden Charges
We do not charge:
- Hidden processing fees
- Hidden documentation fees
- Mandatory training fees
- Any fee not clearly itemized and disclosed
Comparison: Our Service Fee vs. Prohibited One-Month Salary Fee
| Category | Prohibited One-Month Salary Fee | Our Small Service Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Basis | Based on full monthly salary (e.g., ₱50,000) | Based on actual administrative service costs |
| Legal Status | Often illegal; may constitute illegal recruitment | Fully compliant with RA 8042, RA 10022, and DMW rules |
| Nature of Fee | Placement fee | Non-placement, administrative service fee |
| Worker Protection | High risk of exploitation | Transparent, limited, and itemized |
“We do not charge workers any placement fee based on their monthly salary. Instead, we collect only a modest service fee for specific administrative and support services, fully aligned with Philippine migrant worker regulations.”
Commitment to Transparency
This Legal & Fees Policy exists to ensure full transparency for workers, employers, and regulators. Our agency is committed to ethical recruitment, lawful operations, and the protection of Filipino migrant workers.
