LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J. |

| The above provisions are clear that the private employment agency shall assume joint and solidary liability with the employer.[19] This Court has, time and again, ruled that private employment agencies are held jointly and severally liable with the foreign-based employer for any violation of the recruitment agreement or contract of employment.[20] This joint and solidary liability imposed by law against recruitment agencies and foreign employers is meant to assure the aggrieved worker of immediate and sufficient payment of what is due him.[21] This is in line with the policy of the state to protect and alleviate the plight of the working class. | |||||
