maybe bonito99 can help. he answered a similar question.

[Google]

repost ko lang baka dito may makasagot. from the HRD section:

 

I once worked in a call center. Malaking issue at that time ang night differential ng mga employees. Luckily may night diff naman at that time when I was still at the company. Pati ang HR office agree sa amin na dapat lang na may night diff, and pinagtanggol pa kami sa management. Ang main reason namin was "nasa Labor Code". So we (employees) enjoyed our night diff.

 

According to the government website, night differential pay is described as:

 

B. Minimum Night Shift Pay

 

* Every employee is entitled to a night shift differential or night shift pay of not less than ten percent (10%) of his regular wage for each hour of work performed between 10:00 o'clock in the evening and 6:00 o'clock in the morning.

* If overtime work or work in excess of eight (8) hours falls within the aforesaid period, premiums for overtime work should first be integrated into the regular hourly rate of the employee before computing night shift pay.

however..

 

Now that I am running a BPO company problema na ang night diff na yan. Gusto ko tangalin ang night differential na yan since ang regular work hours ng mga personnel ko is during our client's working hours, particularly at night. tindi kasi ng percentage para salary eh.. +10%.

 

I know the side of the employee and know the main reason that it is in the Labor code. However, the labor code was not designed with BPO graveyard shifts in mind. malulugi ang BPO companies dahil sa night diff na yan. Aside from the night diff ay ang holiday pay, since ang work ng BPO industry follows the client's calendar. Mahirap ang magpa force leave; also another issue in my previous company.

 

question ko ay what other compensation can I give my employees instead of the night diff, or how do I circumvent this night diff altogether?

 

i am not a lawyer, but its either:

 

a) you have to paid the night diff.

or give your employees a higher salary, integrating the night differential factor and explain it to them during hiring.

alam ko dapat pakasal muna kayo. tapos she has to go to the Bureau of Immigration, file an application for Filipino Citizenship, in which, naka attach dun yung mga copies ng birth certificates nya, marriage contract nyo, etc.

Art. 282. Termination by employer. An employer may terminate an employment for any of the following causes:

 

Serious misconduct or willful disobedience by the employee of the lawful orders of his employer or representative in connection with his work;

 

Gross and habitual neglect by the employee of his duties;

 

Fraud or willful breach by the employee of the trust reposed in him by his employer or duly authorized representative;

 

Commission of a crime or offense by the employee against the person of his employer or any immediate member of his family or his duly authorized representatives; and

 

Other causes analogous to the foregoing.

 

 

I got this from the DOLE website in search for an answer to my problem.

I filed my resignation from the company I'm working in and asked that the 30days notice be waived in my favor because I've been sick. The docotor even wrote a medical certificate stating that I'm not fit to work. That I gave them as proof that I can't come to work to serve the 30days. Still, they are asking me to report to work stating that they'd terminate me if I don't come to work immediately.

Would my medical certificate not be enough as proof that I can't come to work? Do they have grounds for terminating me? Considering I resigned all ready? Besides, I am not forcing them to make my resignation effective immediately if they wouldn't want to. But why are they asking me to still come to work? Help, it's really stressful all ready.

imho, they cannot make you render the 30 days notice specially in your case na supported ng medical certificate yung sakit mo.
