DOLE readies financial help for quarantine-displaced workers

ILOILO City – Workers in Western Visayas’ private sector adversely affected by the community quarantine due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may avail themselves of financial assistance from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).

According to DOLE Region 6 information officer Niezel Anen Sabrido, the “one time financial support” is P5,000 and non-conditional regardless of the worker’s employment status.

This is part of DOLE’s COVID-19 Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP) to “mitigate the adverse economic impacts and reduction of income brought about by COVD-10 pandemic,” said Sabrido.

Target beneficiaries are formal sector workers or those connected with private establishments that have adopted Flexible Working Arrangements (FWAs) or temporary closure during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sabrido said it is the employers themselves who must apply for the CAMP and process the requirements.

The documentary requirements are the following:

* establishment report on COVID-19 form, as required under Labor Advisory No. 9, Series of 2020

* the form may be downloaded from the DOLE Region 6 website (ro6.dole.gov.ph)

* company payroll for the month prior to the implementation of FWAs or temporary closure

* companies must also submit the bank account details of their respective affected employees

DOLE will evaluate the application within three working days then notify the applicant through electronic mail if the application is approved or denied.

Possible grounds for denial of application are the ineligibility of applicant, misrepresentation of facts in the application, and submission of falsified or tampered documents.

If approved, DOLE will release the financial support direct to the beneficiary’s payroll account through bank transfer.

Applications from employers may be emailed to the following DOLE offices in Region 6:

* Iloilo – doleiloilocamp@gmail.com

* Negros – dolenegroscamp@gmail.com

* Aklan – doleaklancamp@gmail.com

* Capiz – dolecapizcamp@gmail.com

* Antique – doleantiquecamp@gmail.com

* Guimaras – doleguimarascamp@gmail.com

DOLE-6 discourages personal follow-up of application as a precautionary measure against COVID-19.

According to Sabrido, DOLE-6 also has a package of assistance to workers in the informal sector – the TUPAD #BKBK program (Barangay Ko, Bahay Ko Disinfection / Sanitation Project).

“Hatagan sila sang emergency employment maximum period of 10 days, ang bayad P395 per day. Ang ila actually obrahon mag-disinfect sa mga panimalay kag magpangtinlu,” said Sabido.

The local government unit itself should endorse to DOLE-6 the list of qualified persons for this program./PN
