Based on the Department of Labor and Employment\u2019s (DOLE) Job Displacement Monitoring Report released on Monday, the affected local workers and OFWs reached a total of 111,780, many of them from nine regions that have imposed community quarantine.<\/p>\n

Of the number, 108,620 workers from 2,317 establishments were affected due to the implementation of Flexible Work Arrangements (FWAs) and Temporary Closure (TC).<\/p>\n

The DOLE report also said 889 establishments with 41,311 workers have implemented FWAs while 368 companies engaged in reduction of workdays, affecting 15,556 workers.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, 225 firms implemented forced leave, leaving 9,941 workers without work while 58 other companies with 3,655 employees were also affected by the anti-virus measures.<\/p>\n

While 600 establishments have temporarily closed and affected 30,796 workers, the labor department received no report of permanent closure.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the report revealed that 3,169 OFWs were either repatriated, displaced or stranded due to travel restrictions.<\/p>\n

Among the affected businesses were under manufacturing, hotels and restaurants, and tourism-related sectors, according to DOLE.<\/p>\n

The nine regions that have reported temporary displacements are National Capital Region (NCR), Region 3 (Central Luzon), Region 4-A (CALABAZON), Region 6 (Western Visayas), Region 7 (Central Visayas), Region 11 (Davao Region), Region 9 (Zamboanga Peninsula), Region 12 (SOCCSKSARGEN), and Region 4-B (MIMAROPA).<\/p>\n

The government earlier recommended the adoption of FWA to establishments to help cushion the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on their companies as well as their workers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
