dolphin722 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Patanong lang po: What's the minimum wage ba today? Our employees kase were getting more than 8,000 for their salary because the owners (US based Filipinos) thought that these was the minimum. Last January, they found out that these was not the minimum rate so they adjusted it. All employees complained with the adjustment. Legal ba yung ginawa ng company? Quote Link to comment
firealessandra Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Is it legal to make a one time salary deduction? The thing is my friend was sent to Thailand for training. During her stay she received a lot of personal calls. It happens to be that incoming calls were charged twice as much. Her bills ballooned up reaching more than P20,000. The company decided to deduct it from her salary. What the company did was to deduct in whole. In short, it's been 2 paydays wherin she did not receive a single cent from her company.

Tokoy Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 good evening to all. can a company deny someone of their ( employees certificate )? thanx good day specs! employment certificate, if this is what you mean is a benefit an employee can get once he or she is employed. this is a proof of employment. this certification is a legal document which can be use to enter into agreements, contracts and others. with regards to your question if a company can deny that certification my answer to that is YES, if it has been a practice of the company not to issue an employment certificate otherwise your company is not consistent in implementing its policies and procedures. please take note that as a benefit, the company also has the right to deny that certification if it is detrimental to its image or its core values.

Legal ba yung ginawa ng company? minimum wage varies from one region to another. may i know what region is your company situated? if your company practically reduces the basic pay of the employee and offered nothing more in return then that is against the law.

Tokoy Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 hi tokoy! thanx sa answer. so what does he needs to do para may proof na he was employed by that company? kasi ten (10) years din sya nagwork dun. he is now applying for another job thats why he needs the cert. two years ago he was forced to resign because of punctuality. pls. advice me naman thanx uli your welcome specs okay, if your friend already resigned from work he/she for sure have the following documents: certificate of clearance this is a proof that your friend has no pending obligations of the company; a copy of the final pay check which represents the last and final pay; he/she will also received a copy of the withholding tax on compensation certificate or w2. these documents are valid proof that your friend has been an employee of that company. your friend by all reasons can demand a certification from that employer coz i dont see any purpose why an employer refuses to give a certification if it terminates or forced to resign an employee due to attendance or punctuality reason.

orionpax Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 (edited) Just asking...cause i dont wanna assume.....a Multinational firm thru a headhunter asked for my current package...( i applied for this company 3 months ago and have gone thru all the required 4 interviews already) I padded my current package by at least 10% and our HR is not divulging salary infos to third parties without my consent (so that takes care of nosy people verifying my info)....What is the probability of me getting hired? ....ive done my research and asked an employee of the headhunting firm (not the one who asked for the details of my package) the salary range that the company is giving. The "padded" package i divulged to the agent was well within the range....any comments on this? Edited September 21, 2004 by orionpax Quote Link to comment
