Part Time Call Center and BPO Jobs in the Philippines

Only 8 of 761 open BPO listings in the Philippines are part time, and none is a call center agent role. Who actually hires, and what the law owes you.

Part time call center jobs are one of the most searched things in Philippine BPO and one of the rarest things actually offered. On 22 September 2026 the BPOAI job board carried 761 open positions across 522 distinct listings. Three of them carried a part-time employment tag. Widening the net to every listing whose title or description text says "part time" anywhere reaches eight, across four employers, which is roughly one percent of the board. Not one of the eight is a call centre agent role. That is the honest answer to the search, and the rest of this page is what to do with it: who the four employers are, what the work actually is, what it pays when nobody advertises a rate, and what Philippine law owes a part-timer regardless of how few hours they work.

The eight part-time listings, and who is behind them

₱10,500

a month

Four employers account for all of them, and the pattern is consistent: back-office, administrative, finance and specialist consulting work, most of it remote and aligned to a foreign timezone.

  • Atticus Advisory Solutions (5 of the 8), all remote, all run from Pasig against overseas clocks: an Office Coordinator and an Administrative Assistant on healthcare accounts, two senior NetSuite consultants, and an Adaptive Planning forecasting and budgeting consultant. Their listings state the arrangement in the shift line itself, as "Remote | Part-Time", "EST/ Remote/ Part-time", "Remote | AU Timezone | Part-Time" and "Remote | Part-Time | NOAM Shift".
  • MySigrid: a US Bookkeeper, hybrid, Pasig, advertised in the title as "(Part-time)" and described as a part-time bookkeeper managing financial records for a real estate company.
  • DXC Technology Philippines: an Integration Architecture and Governance Analyst, tagged part-time but onsite in Taguig.
  • Infinit-O: a role listed as "Project-Hire", onsite in Pasay, in client administration.

One detail matters more than the count. Five of the eight are tagged full time in the employer's own applicant tracking system and only reveal the part-time arrangement in the body text. So filtering a job board by an employment-type dropdown will miss most of what exists, and the tag is not a reliable filter for this search. Read the shift line, not the badge.

Why none of them is a call centre agent job

The eight are bookkeeping, administration, NetSuite consulting, financial planning and IT governance. The absence of voice roles is the finding, not an oversight in the sample: of the 761 open positions, 624 carry a full-time tag, 25 temporary, 2 contract, and 107 are untagged. Queue-based voice work is staffed in whole shifts on this board, and the part-time work that exists is the kind that is measured by output rather than by hours covering a queue. If you are searching for a part-time call centre agent seat specifically, the board says that is not a category with meaningful supply right now, and a page that told you otherwise would be selling you something.

03 / 05

What it pays, and why no listing will tell you

None of the eight states a salary. That is not unusual on this board, but it does mean any hourly figure has to be derived rather than quoted, so here is the derivation in full rather than a number presented as fact.

Indeed's Philippine page for call center representative gives an average of ₱21,102 a month from 15.4 thousand reported salaries, updated 14 September 2026. Philippine monthly rates convert to a daily rate by multiplying by twelve and dividing by the number of paid days in the year, and to an hourly rate by dividing by the standard eight-hour day. On a five-day week (261 days) that is about ₱970 a day and ₱121 an hour. On a six-day week (313 days) it is about ₱809 a day and ₱101 an hour. Which factor your employer uses changes the answer by a fifth, so it is worth asking outright.

Treat those as a floor for negotiation rather than a market rate. They are the full-time agent benchmark expressed per hour, and the eight roles above are specialist and back-office work that full-time would pay above an agent seat, not below it. What the numbers are good for is checking an offer: twenty hours a week at ₱121 is roughly ₱10,500 a month, and an offer materially under the pro-rated equivalent of the full-time rate for the same work is the thing to question. Current full-time bands by role are in the call center salary guide.

What the law owes a part-timer

Part time is a schedule, not a legal category. Philippine labour law has no separate class of part-time employee with fewer rights, and several entitlements apply on actual hours worked rather than on a full-time threshold.

  • 13th month pay, in full proportion. Presidential Decree 851 entitles rank-and-file employees to one twelfth of total basic salary earned in the calendar year, regardless of employment status. Because the formula runs on what you actually earned, a part-timer is not excluded, the amount simply scales. Basic salary for this purpose excludes overtime, night differential, holiday pay and cost-of-living allowance. The 13th month guide works the computation through.
  • 13th month from every employer, not just one. Employees working in two or more private firms, on a full-time or part-time basis, are entitled to 13th month pay from all of their private employers, regardless of total earnings from each. Two part-time jobs means two 13th month payments, and this is the single most commonly forfeited entitlement in this arrangement.
  • Minimum wage still applies. The regional minimum is a daily rate for eight hours; a shorter day is paid its proportionate equivalent, not a discounted rate. A lower hourly rate justified by the job being part-time is not something the schedule permits.
  • Night differential, overtime and holiday premiums, on actual hours. The statutory night differential of at least 10 percent for hours between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. is computed on hours worked, so a part-timer on a graveyard schedule earns it exactly as a full-timer does. The night differential guide covers the mechanics.
  • SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG. Mandatory wherever an employer-employee relationship exists, based on actual compensation.
  • Security of tenure is not waived by the schedule. Under Article 295 of the Labor Code a casual employee who renders at least one year of service becomes regular, and repeated short contracts covering year-round work do not avoid that.

What does exist at scale, if part time was a means and not the point

Most people searching for part-time BPO work want one of three things: fewer hours, control over which hours, or no commute. Only the first is scarce.

Twenty-seven listings on the board advertise a flexible schedule, though from just three employers (Boldr., Concentrix and Clark Outsourcing), and 156 mention weekend work, which is what a weekday-constrained schedule usually needs. The larger option is remote: 116 of the 761 positions are tagged remote and 56 hybrid, and how home-based hiring actually works covers the application, the tests and the equipment question end to end. If the goal was avoiding a commute rather than working fewer hours, that is a far deeper pool than this one. And before applying to anything advertising unusually short hours, the work from home legitimacy guide is the check worth running first, because "part time, work from home, high pay" is the standard shape of a recruitment scam.

Common questions

01

Are there part time call center jobs in the Philippines?

Very few, and on current evidence none at agent level. Of 761 open BPO positions on the BPOAI job board on 22 September 2026, three carried a part-time tag and eight mentioned part-time anywhere in the title or description. All eight were back-office, administrative, finance or consulting roles, not voice or queue-based agent seats.

02

Which companies hire part time BPO staff in the Philippines?

On the board that day, four: Atticus Advisory Solutions (five remote roles run against EST, AU and NOAM timezones), MySigrid (a hybrid US bookkeeping role), DXC Technology Philippines (an onsite analyst role in Taguig) and Infinit-O (an onsite project-hire role in Pasay). Listings change as roles are filled, so treat these as the pattern rather than a current vacancy list.

03

How much does a part time BPO job pay in the Philippines?

No part-time listing on the board states a rate, so there is no reported figure to quote. Derived from the full-time benchmark, Indeed's call center representative average of ₱21,102 a month works out to roughly ₱121 an hour on a five-day week or ₱101 on a six-day week. That is an agent-level floor for comparison, not a market rate for the specialist part-time roles actually advertised.

04

Do part time employees get 13th month pay in the Philippines?

Yes. Presidential Decree 851 covers rank-and-file employees regardless of employment status, and the amount is one twelfth of total basic salary earned in the calendar year, so it scales with hours rather than excluding part-timers. If you hold two part-time jobs with two private employers, you are entitled to 13th month pay from both.

05

Can an employer pay a lower hourly rate because the job is part time?

No. The regional minimum wage is set as a daily rate for an eight-hour day, and a shorter day is paid the proportionate equivalent of it. A reduced schedule changes the number of hours paid, not the rate those hours are paid at.

6Sources and methodologyEvery figure on this page carries a source URL, retrieval date, and confidence score

Job-board figures were read live on 22 September 2026 from every currently available posting and are counted as openings, so a role advertised twice counts twice; the five employment_type tallies therefore sum to the stated 761, and deduplicating by employer and job title gives 522 distinct listings. The part-time count is reported two ways because the two disagree: 3 listings carry a part_time tag, while 8 mention part-time in the title or description text, and 5 of those 8 are tagged full_time by the employer's own system. The 8 is a regular-expression match over title and description text and undercounts anything phrased differently, so it is a floor. Counts move through the day as listings are filled or withdrawn, and the named roles illustrate a pattern rather than a guaranteed current vacancy. The hourly pay figures are DERIVED from Indeed's monthly average, not reported by any employer or stated on any listing: monthly multiplied by 12 and divided by 261 or 313 paid days, then by an 8-hour day. Both divisors are shown because Philippine employers use either and the choice moves the result by about a fifth. Legal points are drawn from PD 851 for 13th month pay and from a secondary guide to DOLE part-time rules for the remainder; the latter is marked lower confidence because it is a commercial explainer rather than a primary DOLE issuance, and anyone relying on it for a dispute should check the current DOLE-NWPC handbook directly.
