Senator Risa Hontiveros on Sunday lauded the Employers Compensation Commission (ECC) for its move to pay workers for injuries sustained while working from home.
“Now that a lot of workers are under a work-from-home arrangement, it’s a big thing for a worker to be assured their company will take care of their needs whatever happens to them wherever they are of even if they are just at home,” the senator said in Filipino.
“The essence of workplace safety and health goes beyond the workers’ offices. This new resolution from the ECC provides clarity as to how Filipino workers can avail of compensation in the event they get sick, or suffer from disability or death from injuries sustained while working from home,” she said.
