DOLE Permits & Compliance

DOLE Permits & Compliance

All employers in the Philippines are required to comply with Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) regulations. These include establishment registration, occupational safety and health (OSH) compliance, and various DOLE permits and reports.

Our consultancy provides end-to-end DOLE permitting and compliance services, helping businesses avoid penalties, work stoppages, and legal exposure—while ensuring a safe and compliant workplace.

What Are DOLE Permits?

DOLE permits and registrations are legal requirements that ensure:

  • Workers’ rights and welfare are protected
  • Workplaces comply with labor standards
  • Occupational safety and health (OSH) risks are managed
  • Employers meet statutory reporting obligations

Operating without required DOLE permits may result in fines, closure orders, or criminal liability.

    Identify required DOLE permits, determine OSH risk classification, and check existing gaps.

  3. 3

    Online or regional DOLE submission and coordination with DOLE field offices.

  4. 4
