The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has reminded all private sector establishments to submit their 2023 Annual Establishment Report on Wages (AERW) on or before the June 15 deadline.
In Labor Advisory No. 3-2024, DOLE said all private companies are required to submit their 2023 AERW under the Labor Code of the Philippines.
"All private establishments are required to register and log in to the 2023 Annual Establishment Report on Wages online portal at https://annualwagereport.nwpc.dole.gov.ph," DOLE said.
The online portal shall remain open from Mar. 15 to Jun. 15 to accommodate report submissions, it added.
The report is mandated by the Wage Rationalization Act, which requires firms to submit a verified itemized listing of their staff.
The department said the AERW must include the names of their rank-and-file employees, including learners, apprentices, and workers with disabilities, who were hired under the terms prescribed in the employment contracts, and their corresponding salaries and wages.
It added that the AERW report for calendar year 2023 must be as of December 31, 2023.
Data indicated that 21,318 businesses adhered to the requirements of the 2022 Annual Establishment Report on Wages.
