BPO workers who refuse to return on-site will not be terminated — DOLE

In an interview with ANC Headstart, Benavidez however explained that the decision to work from home is still left on the employer.

The DOLE official added that workers may lose incentives if they refuse to report to direct their employees. Which, in the long run, could be categorized as “insubordination.”

Benavidez’s statements come after the Fiscal Incentives Review Board (FIRB), with the support of several government agencies, urged employees to go back to their offices starting April 1.
