3. WORKPLACE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES1. LABOR CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES

1. The Labor Code of the Philippines governs employment practices and labor relations in the
Philippines. It also identifies the rules and standards regarding employment such as pre-employment
policies, labor conditions, wage rate, work hours, employee benefits, termination of employees, and so
on. Under the regime of the President [Ferdinand Marcos], it was promulgated in May 1. 1974 and took
effect November 1, 1974, six months after its promulgation.

2. PRE-EMPLOYMENT Minimum employable age

The minimum age for employment is 18 years old and below that age is not allowed. Persons of age 15
to 18 can be employed given that they work in non-hazardous environments. Overseas
employment as for overseas employment of Filipinos, foreign employers are not allowed to directly hire
Philippine nationals except through board and entities authorized by the Secretary of Labor.

Travel agencies also cannot transact or help in any transactions for the employment or placement of
Filipino workers abroad. Once Filipinos have a job in a foreign country, they are required to remit or
send a portion of their income to their families, dependents, and/or beneficiaries in the Philippines.
Regulations and conditions on employment Minimum wage rate Minimum wage rates in the Philippines
vary from region to region, with boards established for each region to monitor economic activity and
adjust minimum wages based on growth rates, unemployment rates, and other factors.

The minimum wage rate for non-Agriculture employees, in Manila region, established under Wage
Order No. NCR 15 is P404 per day, but in May 9, 2011, a (cost of living allowance) of P22 per day was
added to P404 wage, making the minimum wage P426. COLA was also added to the previous P367
minimum wage for the following sectors: Agriculture, Private Hospitals (with bed capacity of 100or less),
and manufacturing establishments (with less than 10 workers), leaving the sectors with P389 as
minimum wage. The 426combined rate is locally referred to in the Philippines as "Manila Rate" due to
this regional disparity. Regular work hours and rest periods Normal hours of work - The normal hours of
work of any employee shall not exceed eight (8) hours a day. Health personnel in cities and
municipalities with a population of at least one million (1,000,000) or in hospitals and clinics with a bed
capacity of at least one hundred (100) shall hold regular office hours for eight (8) hours a day, for five (5)
days a week, exclusive of time for meals, except where the exigencies of the service require that such
personnel work for six (6) days or forty-eight (48) hours, in which case, they shall be entitled to an
additional compensation of at least thirty percent (30%) of their regular wage for work on the sixth day.
For purposes of this Article, "health personnel" shall include resident physicians, nurses, nutritionists,
dietitians, pharmacists, social workers, laboratory technicians, paramedical technicians, psychologists,
midwives, attendants and all other hospital or clinic personnel. Meal periods- Subject to such regulations
as the Secretary of Labor may prescribe, it shall be the duty of every employer to give his employees not
less than sixty (60) minutes time-off for their regular meals. Rest days All employees have the right to
have a 24 consecutive hours of rest day after every 6 days of work. Employers are responsible for
determining and scheduling the rest day of employees except only if the employee prefers a different
day based on religious grounds. However, the employer may require an employee to work during
his/her rest day in cases of emergencies, special circumstances at work in which employees are seriously
needed, to prevent losses or damage to any goods or to the employer, and other cases that have
reasonable grounds. Nightshift differential and overtime Employees are also given additional wages for
working in night shifts. The night shift starts from 10 o’clock in the evening until 6 o’clock in the
morning, and employees will receive 10% more of his/her regular wage rate. Overtime work for
employees (beyond 8 hours) are allowed and workers shall be paid with his/her regular wage plus an
additional 25% of the regular wage per hour worked or 30% during holidays or rest days. Household
helpers Household helpers, or maids, are common in the Philippines. Household helpers deliver services
at the employer’s home, attending to the employer’s instructions and convenience. The minimum wage
of household helpers is P800 per month for some cities in Metro Manila, while a lower wage is paid to
those outside of Metro Manila. However, most household helpers receive more than the minimum
wage; employers usually give wages ranging from P2, 500 and above per month. On top of that,
employers are required to provide food, sanitary lodging, and just treatment to the household helper.

3. POST- EMPLOYMENTTermination by employerThe employer has the right to terminate an employee

due to the following reasons: serious misconduct or disobedience tothe employer, neglect of duties or
commission of a crime by the employee, and such gives the employer a just case to terminatethe
services of the employee.Retirement The retirement age for an employee depends on the employment
contract. Upon retirement, the retired employee shouldbe given his/her benefits according to the
agreement or contract between the employer and the employee. However, if there is noexisting
retirement plan or agreement for the employee, he/she may retire at the age of 60, given that he/she
has served theemployer for 5 years, and shall be given a retirement pay of at least half a month’s salary
for every year of service (6 months ofwork given is considered as 1 whole year for the retirement pay).

LESSON 4. CONFIDENTIALITY IN THE WORKPLACE

 To maintain a general degree of professionalism, it is important that your personal details

remain personal. Disclose your personal details to only a few people and that too with discretion.
Getting over-friendly with colleagues is a major cause of office issues.
b. SafetyPersonal details like annual income, marital status, and remuneration, if revealed, can
be misused to cause trouble to you or your organization.
c. SecurityYou may have access to sensitive information of the organization and some of your
personal details, like date of birth, could be your access code. In this case, maintaining
confidentiality becomes important for the security of the information that is at your disposal.
LESSON 5. EFFECTIVE CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND TEAMWORK SKILLS1.
TEAMWORK SKILLS: SIX STEPS TO EFFECTIVE CONFLICT RESOLUTION How can
we get our teams to work together more effectively? Let’s face it, not everyone is going to get
along with everyone else. That would be too easy. Let’s start with a simple question – Is
conflict good or bad? The reality is that conflict can be both good and bad. If the conflict is about
solving a challenge and two people disagree on the process, that is good conflict because, more
than likely, they will resolve the issue by using input from both parties. Now, if the conflict
becomes personal, then it is bad for everyone involved and even sometimes for those on the side-
lines, as well. So, regardless of the type of conflict, effective resolution is a set of teamwork
skills that every team needs to understand.
Here is a simple, six-step approach to reaching conflict resolution:
1. Get everyone to agree that a problem exists: A classic example; no one wants to talk about the
elephant in the room.Get it out in the open and get agreement that there is a problem.
2. Brainstorm potential solutions: This is critical and everyone involved with the problem
needs to be involved.Remember, it is a brainstorming session and not a problem-solving
session.
3. Discuss all of the solutions and come to a mutual agreement: After the brainstorming session,
let ideas settle for alittle while and then gather everyone together to discuss solutions and come
to an agreement on the next process,then set an agreement in place.
4. Expect cooperation from everyone and share these expectations: This stage is one that many
dismiss – by gettingeveryone to share his / her expectations they are, in effect, gaining mutual
buy-in and creating mutual accountability.
5. Sign the agreement discussed in step four: The buy-in gets deeper when all parties sign the
agreement.
6. Have a systematic follow through plan in place. If you are not tracking progress, how will you
know if the plan you put into place is indeed working? This allows you to provide appropriate
feedback to everyone along the way. When you follow a plan, you increase the likelihood of
resolving conflict in a win/win scenario that helps everyone.
Think of it this way: would you begin to take a road trip to a new destination you have never
been without a set of directions or a GPS? Think of these six steps as your GPS towards conflict
resolution.

VII. Introduction: In this lesson we will know the steps and how to make a Resume.

LESSON 1. WRITING A RESUME According to Cambridge dictionary, a resume is a written statement of

your educational and work experience. A resume is a means of advertising yourself to get a job that you
want and will give a short impression about you to the employers whether you attain their standards or
not. That’s why writing a good resume is very important.

1. THREE (3) FORMATS OF RESUME

a. Reverse-Chronological - This is the more traditional format and is what you are most
likely to come across.
Chronological format is flexible and can be used for applicants with any level of experience.

In using this kind of format, you should use if:

I want to show a vertical career progression.

I want to apply to a job in a similar field.

I want to promote my upward career mobility

In using this kind of format, you shouldn’t use if:

I have major gaps in my employment history.

I am changing my career path.

I change jobs every few months.

Example:

b. Functional - While chronological places emphasis on career progression, a functional format focuses
on your abilities and skills. Since it heavily emphasizes the applicant’s qualifications, functional format is
more suitable for those with an expert level of experience.

In using this kind of format, you should use if:I have gaps in my employment history.

I am changing my career industry.

I want to highlight a specific skill set.

In using this kind of format, you shouldn’t use if:

I want to highlight my upward career mobility.

I am an entry level candidate that lacks experience.

I lack transferable skill

c. Combination – As you can probably guess the combination format merges bits and pieces from both
chronological and functional formats. Like the functional format, it focuses on specific qualifications,
yet the body of the document contains professional experience similar to chronological format. This
format is generally reserved for those with a great deal of experience in a particular industry.
In using this kind of format, you should use if:
I want to highlight a developed skill set within a specific career.
I want to change my career path.
I am a master of the subject I am applying to.
In using this kind of format, you shouldn’t use if:
I want to highlight my education.
I lack experience.
I am an entry level candidate.

-I have a wealth of experience in the industry.

-I possess multiple skill sets.
You shouldn’t use if:
-I lack experience.
-I am an entry level candidate that lacks specific skill sets.
-I lack measurable achievements.
Career Objective - A resume objective, also referred to as a career objective, is a 2-3 sentence statement
that provides an overview of your skills and experience.
This resume introduction is best for entry-level candidates.
You should use if:
-I am an entry-level applicant.
-I do not have in-depth experience in the industry.
-I am a recent college graduate.
You shouldn’t use if:
-I have a wealth of industry-specific skill sets.
-I am changing career paths.
-I am writing a cover letter.
Professional Profile - The professional profile is a combination of both the career objective and
qualifications summary.
It is also the most flexible of the three styles as it can be formatted as short paragraph of bullet-point list.
You should use if:
-I have had major achievement in my past experience
-I am applying to a position in the same industry
-I have a special area of expertise in my field
You shouldn’t use if:
-I am an entry-level applicant
-I am recent college graduate
-I lack measurable of accomplishments
Finally, when deciding what skills to add to either of the two, try to target skills specific to the job you are
applying for. Don’t just simply copy and paste skills right out of the job description, but instead try to use
words common in the industry.
c. STEP 3: III. Professional Experience - The section is the core of your resume, where you are tasked
with proving the skills you have listed in the qualification’s summary or career objective. When it comes
to labelling this section, some use “Relevant Experience,” or “Work Experience” as an alternative to
“Professional Experience.”
- Remember to list your work experiences in reverse chronological order and only list experience that is
relevant to the job you are applying for. For each company create a heading including the company’s
name, city & state, your title, and the dates of employment (month and year). If you are still currently
working at a company, you can simply write “month, year-Present” for the employment dates.
d. STEP 4: IV. Education - Having a solid education section helps to display the foundation of your
knowledge and expertise. Depending on your professional experience, you may want to consider
switching the order of the professional experience and education sections.
- For instance, college or high school students that lack seasoned professional experience benefit from
emphasizing their education by placing it before the professional experience section. In addition, if you
possess a wealth of professional experience then it is appropriate to keep this section short and sweet.
- Here are the main points to include in your education section:
The names of your university, community college, or technical school (Don’t include high school
unless you did not attend college)
Location of the schools (city, state)
Date of graduation (month, year)
Degree(s)
GPA (only include if your GPA is above 3.0, round up to the first decimal place, and use this format:
GPA: 3.5/4.0)
e. STEP 5: V. Additional Sections - By now you’ve already added the nuts and bolts to your resume
and may want to consider adding to help strengthen it
