philippines

In my first internship program, I started the old school way of asking for a weekly report. This was pre-twitter. I found that short statuses of what the interns were working on gave me better feedback and allowed me to redirect them more easily.

Remote Management and Payment Methods

In my specific case, I sent all my payments through my sister-in-law who acted as pay master. She did a great job especially when I implemented the pay for performance measures that made payments variable based on performance.

I would suggest that one good well-established way to send money to the Philippines is https://www.xoom.com.

If you can't find a pay master, you can send payments directly to the interns parents. If they have a bank account, payments can go in fairly quickly.

I know in my case, having family run the intership finances made it easier than it might be for just an average person on the street. I think there is value in building up trust and slowly growing some pay master type contacts that help you administer your internship program. Maybe you could start with my sister-in-law! She still has 2 kids in the university where I ran the internship who could get payments to interns.
