When you look for work, aside from passing interviews and exams, you’ll need to submit some pre-employment requirements.
Pre-employment requirements are a common chore that needs to be done to finalize your job-hunting process.
Items in a pre-employment checklist are often standard for many call centers and most jobs I’ve accepted.
In case it’s your first time applying, or it’s your first time applying in a long time, here are some of the documents that you’d like to prepare in advance.
I took this list from a couple of my past employers.
I found some lists as I was sorting my paper documents.
Primary requirements are often required immediately (usually the same week or the week) after the hire date.
SSS Document E-1 / E-4 /E-6 dully received by SSS.
Any printout that came from SSS and has their full name, SSS number and birthdate.
You can visit the SSS website to obtain this.
TIN Document.
Previous ITR/BIR 2316 or Stamped/Received BIR 1905/BIT 1902/ BIR2305.
You may visit BIR for more information.
NBI Clearance (original copy).
In many situations, you can get this same day and in other situations, the office will require you to return after three days or so.
I recommend paying the extra 100 pesos or so to have your NBI clearance delivered.
It will often cost you more than ₱200 if you go back to just pick it up.
Police Clearance (original copy).
Visit a nearby police station to obtain this. I got my police clearance at Parañaque City Hall.
I also got a police clearance ID for an extra hundred pesos or so.
Medical Exam.
Medical exams are often provided for free when you apply at reputable call centers and pass the screening process.
Just ask the HR for details.
Pick up your stool and urine container and enjoy the experience.

When you look for work here are some requirements that you need to obtain and submit.
I would encourage you to review the list so you can review the cost or the amount you need to prepare for your job application.
I recommend getting a job offer before worrying about requirements.
I often save about Php 3,000 extra on top of my job-hunting expenses to pay for requirements so I don’t get pressed for money whenever I need to switch jobs.

You’ll often be asked to undergo pre-employment medical examinations and the good call center companies will cover the expenses.
You will also need to secure your Philhealth MDR as well.
Requirements vary from company to company however these are the common minimum requirements.
Please inquire with your HR for more information.
Companies can cancel or withdraw the job offer.
Salary delays often resulting from a lack of requirements needed for ATM creation.
Termination if found negligent in complying with the requirements. If you have questions just Google “how to get (insert requirement),” and you’ll find a site that has instructions.
If you’ve ever taken a job with a company before, chances are you are already familiar with this process.
