The Intent to Return Letter is a crucial document in Philippine employment practice, commonly used when companies invest in their employees' professional development through overseas training, education, or specialized assignments. This document becomes necessary when an employer sponsors significant training costs and wants to ensure a return on their investment through continued employee service. The letter typically includes specific details about the training program, duration of the overseas stay, return date, and post-return service period commitments. It must comply with Philippine labor laws, particularly the Labor Code and DOLE regulations regarding employee training and development. The document serves as a protective measure for employers while ensuring transparency in the terms and conditions for employees. It's particularly relevant in cases involving substantial training investments, specialized skills development, or extended periods of overseas training.
