0:03 What's up mga kaguro at mga mag-aral? Welcome sa panibagong lesson sa life and career skills. Today, ang pag-uusapan natin ay ang understanding workplace considerations for career success. And specifically, ang isa sa pinakamahalaga at pinaka-critical na topic na ating ipapaliwanag ay ang basic rights of employees. Kasi sooner or later papasok kayo sa workforce maybe the end of this video, kaya mo ng i-explain ang mga karapatan ng bawat empleyado mula working hours, overtime, rest days, benefits at protections. Lahat ng ito kailangan mong alam as future workers or professionals.
0:50 Bakit ba mahalagang pag-usapan ng employee rights? Simple lang. Para iwas sa abuso, para patas ang sweldo, para may pahinga at para may respeto sa dignidad ng bawat manggagawa. Kapag alam mo ang rights mo, mas magiging matalino ka sa pagpili ng trabaho at sa pakikitungo sa iyong magiging employer. Umpisahan natin sa fair compensation. Ang fair compensation ay tungkol sa tamang bayad para sa tamang oras ng trabaho. Hindi pwedeng basta-basta magpa-overtime ng walang dagdag bayad. Ito ang core ng labor code. Just pay for honest work. Pay compensation includes normal hours
1:36 of work, overtime pay, night shift differential and holiday pay. Ang normal hours of work ay 8 hours per day. Kapag pinatrabaho ka beanda overtime na yon. Layunin nito na hindi ma-overwork ang employees at para may healthy balance ang buhay. Kapag nag-overtime ka, automatic dapat may dagdag bayad. 25% more sa regular day at 30% more kung holiday or rest day. Dito pumapasok ang idea ng fairness. Kung mas mahaba ang trabaho, dapat mas mataas ang bayad. Ang night shift differential naman ay para sa mga nagtatrabaho between 10 p.m.
2:23 to 6 a.m. Bakit may extra pay? Kasi hindi madaling magtrabaho sa oras na dapat nagpapahinga ang katawan kaya may 10% night differential pay. Sunod naman natin ang rest and time off. Hindi pwedeng puro trabaho. Lahat tayo may karapatan sa pahinga. Kaya may weekly rest day. Holiday rights at service incentive leave. Part ito ng pagiging human. Kailangan mo ng time to rest and recharge. Rest and time off include weekly rest day, holidays, and service incentive. First, we have weekly rest day. Kailangan ng bawat empleyado ng isang araw na pahinga kada linggo. At kung may
3:10 religious day ka tulad ng Sunday or Friday, dapat i-respect ito ng employer hangga't maaari. Rest day is a right, not a privilege. Tandaan ninyo. Holiday rights. Sa regular holidays, entitled ka sa holiday pay kahit hindi ka pumasok. Pero kung pumasok ka during holiday, dapat double pay. Ito ang proteksyon para sa mga workers during national celebrations or important days. Service incentive leave. Pag naka-one year ka na sa trabaho, dapat ay entitled ka na sa 5 days of paid leave. Pwede sa personal errance, emergencies or rests.
3:55 Hindi mo kailangang magpaliwanag because it's your right. Next ay ang noniscrimination and special protections. Workers have the right to equal treatment regardless of gender, age, especially minors, disability, and status. Wala dapat ma-discriminate sa workplace. Lahat may karapatan. Ang trabaho ay para sa lahat basta qualified ka at ligtas ang environment. Women and minors. Ang minors below 15 ay bawal talagang magtrabaho except sa familybased work na safe. Ang women workers naman ay may special proteksyon from pair treatment to maternity leave.
4:42 Respect, safety, fairness. Yan ang purpose ng batas. Next ay ang protection from exploitation. Isa sa pinakaimportanteng bahagi ng labor code ang protection from exploitation. Dapat tama ang bayad, malinaw ang payelift, walang hidden deductions at on time ang sweldo. Wages, transparency and fairness. Ang sweldo dapat cash or legal tender. Hindi produkto o pangong babayaran later. Dapat may paylip ka rin para alam mo ang deductions at kung tama ang amount na pinasweldo. Sao
5:28 ang sweldo dapat regular at kung hangga't maaari ay on time at at least twice a month. Ito yung kinas at katapusan. Ah karaniwan ganon binibigay ang sweldo. Dapat diretso sao ibigay hindi sa ibang tao. At syempre dapat accessible ang payment. Hindi yung pahirapan yung pagpapasweldo. Hindi pwedeng magbawas ng sweldo ang employer ng walang legal basis. Only government mandata deductions are allowed. Anything beyond that at kung wala sa inyong agreement ay violation na yan. Examples of allowed deductions yung ating mga insurances yung for examples SSS, GSIS for
6:13 government, employees, feel health, pag-ibig and taxes. May mga groups na nangangailangan ng extra protection tulad ng mga babae, minors at PWTs. May special loss para masigurong safe, fair at inclusive ang workplace. O na tayo ngayon sa mga application and activities. First we have activity one. Is it legal? Bas, let's test your understanding. Bibigyan ko kayo ng scenarios. Sasabihin ninyo kung legal o illegal based on the labor code. First, Anna worked for 10 hours in one
6:59 day. Her employees said kasama na yan sa dedication mo. No overtime pay. So this is illegal. It shows overtime without extra pay. Overtime must be paid ah equal or greater than 20 25% of the hourly rate. Mark works from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. but receives his regular rate only. So this is illegal. It shows nightship but no differential. Tandaan ag nights sheep or 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. must have greater than or equal to 10% of extra pay.
7:46 Next, Jessa works from Monday to Saturday. Her employer gives her Sunday as day off. Legal. It shows one rest day per week. Employees must have one rest day weekly. A store deducted Php700 from Carlos salary for uniform PE and late penalty without their without his agreement. Illegal. It shows deducting uniform and penalties which is an authorized deduction and it is not allowed especially kung hindi naman nag-agree ang employer and employee. Next, an 13 year old boy works full time in a warehouse because kailangan ng
8:32 family. So sadly, but it is a truth kung minsan nagtatrabaho na yung mga minor but it is illegal. It shows working minor under 15 cannot work except in a family-based safe work. Next, Ella worked on Independence Day which is a regular holiday and she received a double pain. So this is legal. It shows double pay on holidays because working on a holiday is equivalent to 200% pay. Next activity, payp analysis. Tingnan natin kung tama ba ang deductions, kung legal ba, and kung may red flags.
9:20 Let's analyze this sample pay sleep. Example, employee Juan Dela Cruz pay period from January 1 to 15. His basic salary is 12,000. So for his earnings, basic pay 12,000. An example, nag-overtime siya for 5 hours. So that is Php750. And then nagkaroon siya ng night differential. Nag ano siya nagnight chip. So Php300 additional. So gross pay na matatanggap niyang sweldo is Php13,50. Now for deductions, let's see if the deductions are legal or not. So SSS contribution Php450, PH contribution Php225,
10:05 PAGB contribution Php100, withholding tax Php300, uniform PE P Php500, cash shortage Php350. So the total deduction is PH,925. So his net pay would be the gross pay minus the total deduction. So 13,050 - 1,925 is equ 11,125. na take home niya. Now answer the following questions. Which deductions are allowed by the law? By the law ha? Which deductions violate the labor code and what should the employee do if legal or illegal deductions continue? So let's check kung alin diyan ang legal or illegal. Base sa law, of course ang
10:52 legal dito ay ang mga sumusunod. So we have the SSS, PHB contributions and withholding [musika] tax. And the uniform PE and cash shortage is illegal under the uh employee code. But if meron talaga silang usapan na ganon, of course ah nasa ano naman na yan employee employer um case to case basis okay or discretion. Okay. So kung kailangan talaga may uniform, may nagpagawa sila, napagkasunduan naman. Pero yung cash shortage depende yan ano. So maaaring illegal talaga ong cash shortage. Summary of employer rights. In short, bawat worker ay may karapatang mabuhay ng may dignidad, may tamang bayad,
11:37 tamang oras, tamang pahinga at tamang pagtrato. Test yourself. Sagutin ang apat na tanong na ito. Number one, how many hours is a normal work day? How much is minimum overtime pay? When is night differential applied? And what is the minimum service incentive leave? Kung kayang-kaya niyo yan. Now, think deeply about this. Alin sa mga karapatang ito o ang ating napag-usapan ang pinakaimportante para sa iyo at bakit? Importante itong reflection para maging aware ka as future worker. Now, workplace success reminders. Know
12:23 your rights, know your work. Build a safe career. Tandaan, ang unang hakbang sa career success ay knowing your rights. Hindi ka basta worker. You are a human being deserving respect.
