BAGUIO CITY, Philippines — A labor department advisory on paid isolation and quarantine leave was "lackadaisically crafted and unacceptable," the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines said, calling it insensitive to workers and employers.

 

TUCP said that the Department of Labor and Employment "opted to just 'go through the motions', never bothering to come up with incentives or tax credits for employers for them to accord the benefits of paid isolation and quarantine leave to their workers."

 

The group said that it had proposed that DOLE explore options with the Department of Trade and Industry, Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Social Security System "but they never bothered to look into this. "
