Good Day All!

 

To start this thread rolling let me ask you DO YOU ALL KNOW WHAT SERVICE INCENTIVE LEAVE IS?

service incentive leave w/ pay po ba?

5 days leave w/ pay granted to employees after 1 year of continuous service per labor code? tama po ba?

-pano ba computation ng withholding tax? is it bracketed?

 

-a friend of mine works in a company na delayed and sweldo. may nasusulat ba sa labor code tungkol d2?

 

salamat po

me tax brackets po depending sa annual gross compensation income. refer sa likod ng form 1701-a or sa website ng bir. (bir.gov.ph i think)....

me provisions on the labor code re on time payment of salary ... pati na ang manner of payment.

tanong lan, nasa labor code ba ounce you sign your regularization, a 10% of your salalry will be added?

wala po. salary increase upon regularization is at the discretion of the company. it would either be

1 - an adjustment to the minimum pay of the job grade employee is in (if hired below min)

2 - a % increase commensurate to the regularization performance rating of the person

3 - a fixed amount per policy....

Please help me on these:

 

1. If you have annual salary increase and you feel that you are still shortchanged/undercompensated, when do you think is the best time to ask for a raise? Will it still be reasonable to ask for one if you are rated average or meets requirements on your KRA?

 

honestly you are the best person to gauge if you are worth an additional raise or not... if you feel confident enuf then speak w/ your boss, otherwise, hold your peace for now.

 

2. Is it ok to moonlight?

 

depends on your firm, but there is a law on double compensation that you have to consider as well... so ask your HR if its ok to have a 2nd job and if it is what sort of jobs can this be. i know its normally OK to teach after office hours .. m not sure about other jobs.

 

3. In applying for a job, how much expected salary should I state basing on my previous salary?

 

depends on your worth really - by worth i mean skills, training, abilities etc. the norm is 15% mark up but thats for really excellent candidates.

 

Help

well my 2 cents...

good day to all you HR people,

I have one question. When it comes to severance pay, does it makes a difference if one gets sacked due to redundancy as compared to one who has to leave due company closure?

there is a difference...

if you are declared redundant you are entitled to at least 1 mo salary for evry year of service... i say at least bec most firms declaring redundancies would have a "package" to offer...

if you lose your job bec the company is not makin any money then you may receive anywhere from 1 month to half a month salary... more often than not you get half a month since... the company does not have money ... thats why theyre lettin go of ppl...

MGA HRD PEEPS DYAN. MAY QUESTION LANG AKO. IS IT REALLY ILLEGAL TO PUT UP A UNION WITHIN A COMPANY? CAN A COMPANY FIRE ITS EMPLOYEES WHO ARE FORMING A UNION? AND LASTLY, CAN I COMPANY CHANGE ITS EXISTING POLICIES WITHOUT CONSULTING ITS EMPLOYEES. POLICIES LIKE PERFORMANCE INCREASE OF EMPLOYEES (EX. FROM THE EXISTING 8%, 10%, & 12% INCREASE TO A NEW 6%,7% & 8% INCREASE), AND RETIREMENT (EX. FROM THE EXISTING 10 YEARS SERVICE TO THE NEW 15 YEARS SERVICE)

 

 

BWISIT NA BWISIT NA KAMI SA COMPANY NAMIN. GUSTO NA NAMIN MAGBUO NG UNION. AND THE NEW HR MANAGER IS THE TARGET OF ALL THE ANGER SA OFFICE NAMIN. DAHIL EVERSINCE DUMATING SYA DITO PARANG ANG DAMING POLICIES NA BINAGO.

 

PLS ENLIGHTEN US, BAGO MABUGBOG SA LABAS ANG HR MANAGER NAMIN NG MGA HOODLUM KONG OFFICEMATES. HEHEHEHEHEHE.

nde po ilegal mag tayo ng Union pero may proseso po na dapat sundin for this. ask dole for details...

yun sa performance appraisal -- depende sa policy ng company ... but usually the percentage increases are dictated by budget -- and based on projection of business results/profits...

benefits can only be changed for the BETTER meaning i iimprove sya at di babawasan. refer to the non dimunition of benefits provision in the labor code...

so regarding the retirement plan, pakibasa mabuti ang bagong plan - baka naman ginawa nga 15 yrs ang eligibility pero nilakihan ang entitlement then ... that would be allowed.

just a question, how mature is the hr practice here in the philippines?

 

let's focus on recruitment. di ba dapat all are given equal opportunity but how come ang daming resctrictions like age bracket, gender, etc.... is there a particular agency na dapat nagmomonitor nito?

depende po yan sa hiring policy ng company.

if their thrust is to attract a young clientele, or if the work they do requires travel or operating heavy machinery and such, they would naturally go for younger candidates...

dito sa US they have an Equal Employment Opportunity Act - meaning prospective employers cannot ask for an applicants age, marital status, gender and even religion when processing an application. you will only be hired based on qualifications... sa pinas they SAY they have that but....

Dear MTC HR practitioners,

 

One question...employment related. Will you hire a prospective employee with tattooes and body piercing even if he/she is qualified for the position? There is one thread going on about tattooes and body piercing and there were posts regarding employment of people with tattooes. Need your comments. Thanks.

again it depends on the hiring policy of the company.

in general pharma companies dont hire ppl w/ tattoos as it goes against the image that these companies wish to project... that of being "clean and healthy" ...

some other industries would be as conservative -- banks, some telcos and some retail / fmcg firms.

on the other hand in the media and advertising industry, its actually almost anything goes... as far as dress, body piercing and art, way of life etc is concerned.

Mga Friends, head, assistant, manager,supervisor,etc. sa HR thread( mga bosing) may question lang po ako:

 

ako ay isang empleyado dito sa isang banko. ngayon ang tanong ko ay ganito:

 

 

- paano po ako magsisimula para magtrabaho sa department ng HR?bilang isang HR assistant or clerk? ako po ay isang fresh grad. 2 months pa lang ako nagwowork dito sa banko bilang csr.nais ko po kasi maging career ang HRD dahil yun po ang tinapos kong kurso.

 

ano po ba nag una kong dapat na requirement? mayroon po ba kayong nais i share na dapat kong malaman? dapat po ba kong maging office staff muna o clerk?

 

 

 

may maipapayo po ba kayo? salamat po sa pagtuon ng pansin.

 

mabuhay ang HRD thread!

suggest ko after 1 yr apply for a transfer to HR. tapos chek mo na lang first san me vacancy and try to get in that position.

from there, show a willingness to learn HR and do other things w/in the HR function... and youre on your way.

HR requires a whole lot of patience so just hang in there

i was wondering if anyone shares my opinion about 13th month pay.

 

while its great to have a nice little bonus at the end of the year to go christmas shopping, wouldn't it be better to get it spread out through out the year? some ideas:

 

1. the companies retaining 13th month pay actually get an interest free loan from employees because they are not obliged to pay the amount until the end of the year.

 

not really because 13th month pay is accrued monthly. that is you "earn" 1/12 of your total 13th mo pay entitlement for evry month you stay in the firm

 

2. people are not not encouraged to save and therefore stunts learning the responsibility of cash planning.

 

i think this would depend on the person really. its a nest egg or a splurge purse... dpending on how you look at it.

 

3. It assumes that as an employee i have no better way to manage my finances except to splurge it all during chistmas.

 

again this is dependent. but the spirit and intent of the 13th month pay law is to provide an extra something for employees to use for christmas (traditionally a time when there are a lot of expenses)... how the employee ends up using it is his own call ...

 

anyway, some quick thoughts.

 

likewise.

 

cheers all

again this myt be a very late answer but...

when will company owners and HR managers in makati finally becomne objective? when will they stop this idiocy of prioritizing graduates from the 'big four'?

i wouldnt go so far as to call it idiocy. rather its part of whats called a HIRING POLICY...

companies do have the right to specify what schools they would prefer to hire their employees from - in keeping with their corporate objectives and thrusts.

for instance - i had a client who wanted employees who would be strong in operations, therefore, they articulated in their hiring policy they would prioritize grads from technical schools ...

on the other hand, my drug co. client specified they wanted candidates strong in verbal skills... hence they named colleges/univs known for turning out graduates strong in that area....

added perspective lang po and maybe a delayed answer but now ko lang kase na hanap tong thread na to.

Faf anlufet ng comfort food mo... heheh...

today i cooked sinigang na pig to comfort my ate kse shes not feeling too well...

Ows, why are you sad naman?

fone in question...

tong pinsan ko kse nakikibasa habang nag po post ako tas nakita nya tong thread.

she is based here in the US but was married in manila in 1995. both church and civil rites (sa manila city hall daw)... in 1998, nag disappear po ang kanyang husbandry. as in pag uwe nya ala na ang things ng lalake at nagiwan ng note tapos nawala (unfortunately na wala daw yun note nun nadukot ang wallet nya)...emfre sa galit ng aking pinsan ibinalik nya sa haws ng guy ang lahat lahat ng things nito. at sya po ay tumungo na dito sa US.

she has not heard from him since then. ano daw po ba ang pwede nya gawin para ma dissolve their marriage? does she have to go thru the annulment process? eh pano daw nya gagawin lahat ng mga steps na na enumerate nyo above kung nowhere to be found ang exhusbandry nya?

she would appreciate your help ... pag mememberin ko na sya dito para sya na magtanong sa inyo directly ...

Hmm, 3rd level ng GB-3.

 

Just saw one of their posters when I ate sa GB-3 a few weeks back.

 

Tignan ko bukas if I attend Mass sa GB.

i miss hearing mass in GB... and i miss eating in GB too...

To the one who brings this to my lips...

I miss you.

friend of my :heart: not your armpits but the smell of the yasai itame wafted and made its way across the seas.

thank you. i cant say that enough.

its an update of my old avvy this time -- a real pic of my lips.

thanks pareng jomart19.. but heres a big problem that im having right now.. patulong naman if u have any idea re: this..

 

i will be resigning from my office (government agency) na.. kaso they want me to return the mid-year bonus (half ng 13th month pay) that they have given last may kasi daw dapat hangang october dapat ako para di ko na isauli.. tama ba yun? is there such a policy? naka six months naman ako this 2004 ah... this really is giving me some headaches.. hangang sa pag-alis ba naman pahirap pa rin itong opisinang na ito..

ang paraan po ng pag compute ng eligibility for 13th month pay is...

ur annual salary divide by 12 months times number of months worked...

so kung anim na bwan ka lang nag work...anim na bwan lang po ang eligibility mo for this pay.

kung nakuha mo ang FULL amount, tama po na ipabalik sa iyo ang kalahati kse na overpay ka po nila.
