Department of Labor and Employment(DOLE)

March 31, 2020 Dear Imam Ahmad, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Mar 18, 2020 12:03:54 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your Request You asked for DOLE Department Order 209 series of 2020. Response to Request Your FOI request is approved. Below are the answers to your queries: 1. do we need to complete the payroll to show support in real time as the requirement in the DO says that we need to provide payroll a month prior implementation of FWA? One of the requirements to avail the CAMP is the signed payroll. However, in the absence of the payroll, the payslip of the affected workers may be submitted instead. 2. if we have paid leaves, is that still covered? Yes. As long as their is income reduction. 3. Is the submission of documentary requirements 2 weeks prior implementation of FWA strictly followed as we only recently found out about the DO? No. You may immediately submit the application upon implementing FWA.
