i can only identify a number major outsourcing companies out there
but are you sure their workers are getting paid in full in term of benefits
(SSS, Philhealth, Pag-IBIG, OT, 13th mon. pay, etc)? Better ask your
outsourced staff about it. You need to make sure that the monthly
fee you send covers all the items that the PH law requires.
