The Department of Labour and Employment (DOLE) of the Philippines has announced the launch of an electronic system to ease registration for household domestic workers and help ensure their welfare.
Secretary of DOLE, Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz, said that the implementing agencies accessed the progress of the Unified Registration System (URS). “We have all agreed that the URS will be pilot-tested and then rolled out”, she said.
The implementing agencies are DOLE, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF or Pag-IBIG Fund), Social Security System (SSS) and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth).
The URS will serve as a standard and common registration platform to facilitate a seamless transactional environment for domestic workers registering for the various welfare schemes. These are the national housing savings programme, social security programme and health insurance programme, implemented by HDMF, SSS and PhilHealth, respectively.
With the URS, the employer and employee will have to fill a total of only three electronic forms. Until a common ID is developed, both the parties will continue using the separate IDs for the three respective systems.
The technical aspects of the URS, including an interactive web-based facility will be ready within the next two weeks. Once the system is ready, the agencies will conduct an extensive education and information campaign to raise awareness on the new registration system. –http://www.futuregov.asia/articles/2013/aug/20/electronic-registration-system-filipino-domestic-w/
