Labor & Employment Law Lawyer in Taguig and Bonifacio Global City
We advise BGC and Taguig employers on employment contracts for local and expatriate staff, work authorisation, equity and bonus arrangements, restructuring, and defence of cases before the labor arbiters covering Taguig workplaces.
Employers in BGC often run policies written for a foreign head office, and the gaps show up in litigation. Philippine law does not recognise at-will employment: probationary employees must be told the standards for regularisation at hiring, fixed-term arrangements are scrutinised, and every dismissal for cause needs two written notices and a genuine hearing. We localise the global handbook rather than replace it, so the group's standards survive contact with the Labor Code.

Frequently asked questions
Can we employ someone at will in the Philippines?
No. Employees acquire security of tenure and may be dismissed only for a just or authorized cause with the required procedure. Contracts that assume at-will employment create liability rather than flexibility.
What do we need to hire an expatriate in BGC?
An appropriate work visa or permit tied to the employment, supported by the company's registration and the role's justification. We advise on the right route and handle the filings and renewals.
How should probationary employment be handled?
The standards for regularisation must be communicated at the time of engagement, and the period cannot be extended indefinitely. An employee who continues working past the probationary period becomes regular by operation of law.
