The Employment Contract Extension Letter is a crucial document used in the Philippine business environment when an employer wishes to extend a fixed-term employment contract beyond its original termination date. This document is essential for maintaining clear employment records and ensuring compliance with Philippine labor laws, particularly the Labor Code of the Philippines and relevant DOLE regulations. It should be issued before the expiration of the current contract and must clearly state the extension period, any modifications to existing terms, and confirmation of continued benefits and obligations. The letter serves multiple purposes: it provides legal documentation of the extended employment relationship, ensures transparency in employment terms, and helps companies maintain proper HR records for regulatory compliance. Typically used for project-based employees, seasonal workers, or specific fixed-term positions, this document helps organizations manage their workforce while protecting both employer and employee rights under Philippine law.
