Abstract While the State has been steadfast in its cognizance on labor as the ―primary social economic force,‖ some circumstances have casted some doubts over the State's sincerity in upholding such public policy. One of this is the retail industry's practice of subcontracting employees for less than six months. This paper explores the legal basis of such practice and proposes some policy recommendations and a research agenda in aid of legislation.
