THE DEPARTMENT of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) XI enjoined all private establishments in the Davao Region to submit their 2025 Annual Establishment Report on Wages (AERW) by Aug. 31, 2026.

The Annual Establishment Report on Wages is an annual report containing the verified itemized listing of establishments’ labor component, specifying the names of their rank-and-file employees and their corresponding salaries and wages.

Submission of the AERW is required under Article 124 of the Labor Code, as amended by Republic Act No. 6727, or the Wage Rationalization Act.

All private establishments (sole proprietorship, partnership, corporations, cooperatives, including government-owned and controlled corporations without original charter or those organized under the Corporation Code of the Philippines) are required to submit this report. Branches are required to submit individual reports separately from their head office.

Establishments can submit their reports through this link: https://aerw.nwpc.dole.gov.ph/
