Restaff window

How it works

Ninety and one-hundred-eighty are common private numbers. Write what ‘failed’ means. Statutory probation can be longer than the window. You can owe the worker a lawful exit after the window and still have no commercial restaff left. For a U.S. company hiring one Filipino teammate, write this into the brief, the employment contract, and the peso payroll file before the start date. Slack habits do not override the Labor Code, BIR, or NPC. If the local employer of record holds the paper, they run the statutory step; you still owe a clean operating definition so the seat does not fail in week three. Put a number on the example when you budget loaded cost, because a nameless allowance always returns as a December surprise or a missed SLA.

Example: window 90, probation 180. Exit day 120: lawful labor process, new paid search.

How it differs

Replacement guarantee is the promise. Replacement search is the work.

Common errors

Assuming the window extends probation.

In practice

Treat Restaff window as a week-one operating object. Put this on the scorecard or the start-date checklist. If it only appears in a pitch deck, it will not survive week one. Write an owner - founder, local employer, or worker - and a date you will look at it again: first cutoff, first holiday, or first miss. If nobody can show a contract clause, a payslip line, a calendar block, or a checklist box, you do not have restaff window yet. You have a conversation. Convert the conversation before the person starts, while changing the deal still costs a paragraph rather than a resignation. Re-read the worked example above against the actual hire in front of you. If the numbers in that example cannot be swapped for this seat’s pesos, hours, and start date, the brief is still unfinished.
