Public Employment Service Office (PESO)

Created by Executive Order No. 4 on February 9, 1989, the Industrial Relations Office (IRO) is mandated “to develop and enhance the cooperation and understanding between management and labor towards industrial peace in Quezon City.” This original mandate was broadened to include the promotion and sustenance of the City’s Employment Program when, in September 3, 1992, the City Government signed a pertinent Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). Thus, the City’s Public Employment Service Office (PESO) was born. PESO pursues the following objectives: * Promote employment programs for City residents in need of jobs; * Provide employment counseling, career guidance and other such services to the City’s students and out-of-school youth; * Promote industrial peace by mediating in labor-management disputes upon the request of a contending party.
