Pre-employment requirements in the Philippines

For the past two years, I worked from home as web developer for a foreign company. And now, I am having office-based employment for the first time. I already did office-based work before for 7 months, but that was only internship, not yet employment.

After some time and effort, I received some job offers from companies in various places – Makati, Ortigas, and Quezon City. I wanted to avoid Makati, dreading the wearisome commute that I already experienced during internship, but the offer I accepted is actually from the company at Makati. The position they offered me is what I think would best help build me up for my career goals, and so I decided to just overlook the difficulty in commute. After all, difficulty is part of life. 🙂

The pre-employments in the company where I’m about to work are as follows:

• Transcript of Records
• Certificate of Graduation or Diploma
• SSS ID Number – How to get SSS Number
• TIN (Tax Identification Number) Number
• NBI clearance – How to get NBI Clearance | 2013 Experience in getting an NBI Clearance
• Medical clearance (from any hospital or clinic)
• Copy of Birth Certificate – How to get birth certificate
• Certificate of Employment (CoE) from last employer *
• HDMF (Pag-Ibig) number *
• Pag-Ibig Printed Contribution: How to get Pag-IBIG Contribution Printout
• PhilHealth number *
• SSS Contribution and Loan Status List *
• BIR Form 2316 *
• Copy of SSS E4/E1
• Copy of Community Tax Number (The number on your Cedula or Community Tax Certificate)
• Copy of Marriage Certificate (if Married) – How to get PSA Marriage Certificate online
• Copy of Dependents Birth Certificate (if any)
• 4 pcs 2×2 photo
• 4 pcs 1×1 photo
• 2 passport-size pictures (colored)

* If previously employed

And right now, I think I’m all good except with the NBI Clearance where I had a “hit” during application. I hate my name. lol.

I plan to make a list of many, if not all, possible pre-employment requirements in the Philippines here, and hopefully, to also link to articles with procedures on how to acquire them. Please comment if you have any pre-employment requirement to suggest for addition to this list. 🙂
