Under Republic Act No. 11165, DOLE first issued Department Order No. 202-19, then later revised the rules through Department Order No. 237-22. As a result, companies need to focus not only on telecommuting policies, but also on proper reporting and recordkeeping.<\/p>\n<p>For HR teams, legal officers, and business owners, compliance starts once telecommuting is adopted. DOLE expects employers to report these arrangements through its Online Compliance Portal, making the telecommuting report a key part of lawful remote-work implementation.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span id=\"b\">DOLE Telecommuting Rules at a Glance<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Telecommuting Act allows private-sector employers to adopt telecommuting only through mutual agreement, not a one-sided decision. Under the revised IRR, employers must also notify DOLE through the Establishment Report System in the Online Compliance Portal. In short, compliance means having a valid arrangement and reporting it properly.<\/p>\n<p>This means employers cannot treat remote or hybrid work as an informal setup handled only through internal approval. Once telecommuting is adopted, the company also needs clear documentation, proper reporting, and records that show the arrangement follows current labor requirements.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span id=\"c\">Who Needs to File the DOLE Telecommuting Report?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33904\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-01-114725-300x218.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"732\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-01-114725-300x218.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-01-114725-577x420.webp 577w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-01-114725-150x109.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-01-114725-324x235.webp 324w, https:\/\/www.hashmicro.com\/ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-01-114725.webp 631w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/>Private-sector employers that adopt telecommuting arrangements should submit the report to DOLE. This applies not only to full work-from-home setups, but also to hybrid arrangements where employees work from an alternative workplace for part of the time.<\/p>\n<p>In short, if a company implements telecommuting for any part of its workforce, it should treat the arrangement as reportable.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>When Should Employers Submit the Report?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The best approach is to submit the report once the telecommuting agreement is in place and the arrangement is about to start.
