maxinquaye Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 A lot of people now are working in call centers and I believe that most of them have experienced some irregularities being practiced by some companies, which violates our Labor provisions. I have some issues that I just want clarified. On leaves. In this company I'm working on, 15 working days is equal to 3 hours of leave only. As far as I know, an employee is entitled to have at least 12 days of leave in one year. Doesn't this violate anything?= Actually, the Labor Code only requires the employer to grant at least 5 days service incentive leave a year. There's no legal basis for the 12 days of leave that you cited. On overtime. Most call centers impose mandatory OTs. Is there a provision regarding mandatory OTs? I know that it's OK for the employer to ask their employees to go on OT but its somewhat being abused by some companies. To my knowledge again, mandatory OT is called for if the company is on the verge of loss or breaking up. To save it, employers then ask their workers to go on mandatory OT, now that's reasonable. But what if they would ask it just because they want to meet some metrics? Team metrics for the matter. Is it some sort of a violation?= Yes, OT can only be required in case of emergency, to prevent loss of propertyor life, avoid serious loss or damage to employer, or prevent serious obstruction or prejudice to the business or operations of the employer. Unless any of these conditions are applicable, you cannot be required to do OT. Sanitary concerns. Is there a labor provision regarding this issue? Like agents sharing headsets. Its pretty much obvious so no need to elaborate further on this. = All employers should provide for the health, safety and welfare of their employees. If you can prove that sharing headsets can has a detrimental effect to their health, I guess you can make a case against the employer. Its a good thing that call centers are here, I'm not against them but there are certain laws that should be followed and we all want to be treated fairly by these companies.

R@v3n Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 i try to the command "fdisk /mbr" but it turned out like Invalid media type... damn i need to recover the files... any help?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would seem as if your hard drives already busted, you should bring it to a friend's house and try accessing it there. If it still doesn't work, it needs servicing already... :cry: Almost on the same note... My hardisk has beem formatted using NTFS now I reverted it back to FAT32, yesterday for some reason I had to reformat it again (FAT32) but formatting won't continue after 72%. Do I call PC express for a new hardisk now or is there a light at the end of the tunnel ?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's may be bad sector at that part of the drive which is why the format command is taking longer at that part. It can't read the sector and is trying to make sure if it should be marked as BAD or not. :cry: P.S. sorry for the slow replies but I'm working on our thesis and can't log-in too frequently...

R@v3n Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 can I format my travelmate 2000 using NTFS? Acer only provided 3 sets of CD for recovery. THey did not included a separate CD Driver.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> You CAN format it using NTFS BUT I doubt if you can use your recovery cds since it reformats the drive to the default setting which (i guess ) is FAT32. I personally just throw away those CDs especially if they're proprietary since they install all sorts of BLOATWARE on your PC that you just may not use! Quote Link to comment
HimuraButosay Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Gud pm everyone!!! Can u please refer me to a computer shop that repairs laptops. my problem is that the laptop screen keeps on flickering. i have this problem for a long time already but after several minutes after starting up it would return to normal. but starting this week it would not stop flickering. can i ask also how much would it cost me? thanks a million! <{POST_SNAPBACK}>hi, read your post just now...you can bring your unit to the IBM service/repair center in eastwood, libis... as for the price, the repair cost would depend on how bad the problem of your display... my two cents worth :headsetsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Problem is even if I have an orig xp pro from my other laptop, where can I get the appropriate drivers for the travelmate? The drivers they provided is in a system cd which can be used in conjunction with the recovery cd only. Quote Link to comment

The drivers for the mouse thingee at the lower center of your laptop? Can't that be detected by Windows XP? Maybe you're pertaining to the useful utilities included like the internet button or something? Anyway, try downloading the drivers needed from the internet. That's what I usually do in cases like these. :hypocritesmiley: Take care of your laptop!!!! :cool: Quote Link to comment
