Senator Bam Aquino has recently filed in the Senate a new bill that protects freelancers from non-payments, as well as rights to secure easier transactions with government agencies.
Called the ‘Freelancers Protection Act‘, this will enable penalties for employers who do not pay accordingly, as well as giving aggrieved freelancers the liberty to pursue and file a civil case before the court for such. The bill, if passed, will also enable freelances to easily register themselves before the Bureau of Internal Revenue, with corresponding tax exemptions for up to three years.
Sen. Aquino believes that with the increasing number of people wanting mobility and finding freedom with a fundamental source of income, it is necessary for the government to give them the protection they deserve. “For many people that value mobility, their own time, and freedom from a fixed employer, freelancing is a dream job and fundamental source of livelihood. With more and more freelancers in the country, we are confronted with an urgent need to protect this new sector and empower them with ease of doing business,” said in the bill.
The bill was filed before the Senate last July, and is being pushed for immediate approval. You may read more of the bill here.
