直接聘僱 Special Hiring

  • 在1999年,菲律賓和台灣政府透過馬尼拉經濟文化辦事處(MECO)及台北經濟文化辦事處(TECO)簽署一個雙邊協定明訂聘僱菲律賓工作者可選擇之管道,目的是保護在台灣的菲律賓工作者之福利及權利。
  • 直接聘僱計畫(SHPT)特別設計提供另一種聘僱模式給雇主,無須透過台灣人力仲介(TMA)以及菲律賓人力仲介(PRA)的參與,這將會提供一個更透明的系統,將減少在台菲勞(FWT)受到不當剝削、濫用的機會及可能性。
  • 馬尼拉經濟文化辦事處(MECO)在直接聘僱申請方式下另外提供驗證就業文件並且核發海外工作證明書(OEC)及海外就業者保險(OCOC)給欲重回原雇主之菲勞。
  • 藉由馬尼拉經濟文化辦事處(MECO)核發OEC和OCOC,以及DHSC的協助,外勞將能在台北經濟文化辦事處(TECO)取得他/她的簽證,毋需去菲律賓海外就業署(POEA)申請。
  • 因此,外勞能更方便、簡化申請流程地返回到他/她在台灣的雇主。更重要的是,此模式可防止遭到不法人力仲介業者共謀剝削外勞的可能性。 
  • In 1999, the Philippine and Taiwan governments, through Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) and Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) signed a bilateral agreement formalizing an alternative channel in the hiring of Filipino workers, which aims to protect the welfare and rights of the Filipino workers in Taiwan. This agreement is coined as the Special Hiring Program for Taiwan (SHPT).
  • The SHPT is specifically created to provide an alternative recruitment channel to employers without the participation of Taiwan manpower agencies (TMA) and Philippine recruitment agencies (PRA). It is also intended to provide a system that is transparent and would lessen opportunities for and the possibilities of abuse of the Filipino workers in Taiwan (FWT).
  • To date, the Ministry of Labor (MOL) opened its satellite centers for direct-hiring, known as Direct Hiring Service Center (DHSC), which would cater to employers who intend to rehire their current foreign workers after completion of their employment contract, without the involvement of manpower agencies.
  • MECO on the other hand verifies the employment documents and issues the Overseas Workers’ Certificate (OEC) and the OWWA Certificate of Coverage (OCOC) to Filipino workers returning to the same employer processed under the SHPT.
  • With MECO’s issuance of the OEC and OCOC, and the assistance of DHSC, the worker will be able to get his/her visa at TECO without the need to go to POEA.
  • Thus, simplifying, facilitating and expediting the return of the worker to his/her employer in Taiwan. Most importantly, the process prevents the workers from falling prey to exploitation and does away with the possible collusion of unscrupulous manpower agencies.
