*This webinar will be conducted in Thai
Event Overview
As we step into 2026, the regulatory environment in the Philippines is becoming increasingly complex. With the new mandatory contributions to the Employee Welfare Fund (EWF) and updated Labor Law amendments taking full effect, HR and Payroll professionals face the dual challenge of ensuring 100% legal compliance while maintaining operational efficiency.
This webinar, hosted by Sprout Solutions, is designed to simplify these complexities. We move beyond theory to provide a “hands-on” roadmap for the 2026 fiscal year. Participants will learn how to integrate new tax brackets, manage statutory welfare contributions, and adapt to the latest DOLE advisories without disrupting their existing workflows. This is an essential session for organizations looking to mitigate legal risks and start the year with confidence.
