00:00Mga panuntunan ng DOLE para sa mga manggagawa ngayong holiday season
00:05at ang inirereklamong BPO firms matapos ang mga bagyong nagdaan
00:10ating tatalakayin kasama si Bureau of Working Conditions Director Alvin Curada
00:15ng Department of Labor and Employment o DOLE.
00:19Director Alvin, magandang tanghali po.
00:23Good afternoon, Joey, and good afternoon sa mga kasama natin sa PTV
00:27at mga nanonood ng inyong program.
00:31Sir, una po sa lahat, ano po yung panuntunan ng mga DOLE
00:34sa mga employer ngayong December tungkol po sa obligasyon nilang
00:39magbigay ng 13th month pay sa mga manggagawa
00:42bago o mismo yung Pasko o Christmas Eve?
00:47Yes, Joey.
00:49Nagsimula na si Sekretary nung pagpasok pa lang ng November
00:52and even yung last week of October,
00:54nire-remind na ni Sekretary Lagu Pujesma
00:57yung ating mga employers ng kanilang responsibility
01:00sa ating mga rank and file employees
01:03na bigyan sila ng 13th month pay
01:05o ito yung equivalent na 1 over 12
01:09ng kanilang kita sa buong taon?
01:14Basi po, sir, sa panuntunan ng DOLE,
01:19sino-sino po yung dapat makatanggap ng 13th month pay
01:22at sino po yung eligible dito?
01:24At meron po bang mga manggagawa na maaaring hindi makatanggap nito?
01:32Under sa ating presidential decree na nagbibigay ng 13th month pay,
01:37lahat ng ating mga rank and file employees
01:40ay entitled na makatanggap ng 13th month pay.
01:43Ito nga ay dapat ibigay ng hindi lalampas ng December 24.
01:49So on or before December 24,
01:52dapat mabibigyan na ng 13th month pay yung ating mga empleyado.
01:56And doon naman sa mga hindi nakakatanggap,
01:59tayo sa gobyerno, hindi tayo entitled ng 13th month pay,
02:03but may separate tayo na scheme,
02:05and then yung mga working in the personal service of another,
02:09hindi rin sila kasama.
02:11Yung purely commission, task basis,
02:13hindi rin sila kasama,
02:14hindi sila entitled ng 13th month pay.
02:17But yung mga workers natin na combination yung kanilang income
02:21in terms of commission plus wage,
02:24yung wage part nila,
02:26sila ay entitled ng 13th month pay.
02:28Dapat lang compute din natin, Joey,
02:31kung magkano yung natanggap nila na wage sa isang taon,
02:34then 1 over 12 noon,
02:36yun yung kanilang equivalent na 13th month pay.
02:39Meron po ba, Director Alvin,
02:41na minimum months na itrinabaho dapat
02:44para makatanggap ng 13th month pay?
02:49O, importante yun, Joey.
02:50Nakalimutan ko pa lang sabihin na
02:52yung ating 13th month pay nagre-require
02:54na dapat nakapag-render ka ng
02:56one month na within the calendar year.
03:00So, kung ngayon halimbawa ay 2025,
03:03dapat nakarender ka ng one month
03:05or at least November or November 15,
03:09dapat nakapasok ka na sa company
03:12para maging entitled ka ng 13th month pay
03:15bago yung bigaya ng on or before December 24.
03:19Paano naman po, Director Alvin,
03:22sabihin natin na terminate yung empleyado
03:24o nag-resign bago po yung payout
03:28ng 13th month pay?
03:29May makukuha po ba sila?
03:32Oo, hindi dahilan ng pagkatanggal
03:34ng mga empleyado,
03:36hindi rin dahilan ng pagre-resign
03:37ng mga empleyado
03:38na mawalan sila ng entitlement
03:41sa 13th month pay.
03:42Kung ikaw ay nag-resign
03:44ng halimbawa August,
03:48makakatanggap ka ng proportionate
03:50na 13th month pay,
03:51so kukumputen lang yung natanggap po
03:53ng January hanggang
03:54until the date of your retirement
03:56sa August divided by 12,
04:00yan yung equivalent mo na 13th month pay.
04:02Ganun din, Joey,
04:03yung mga naseparate na mga empleyado,
04:06nag-resign na mga empleyado,
04:07or nag-retire na mga empleyado
04:09within the calendar year,
04:11entitled sila ng proportionate amount
04:13ng 13th month pay.
04:15Director, sa ibang usapin naman po,
04:18isang samahan po ng BPO workers
04:20ang nareklamo na pinipilit silang
04:23mag-onsite o pumasok on-site
04:25kahit nagbaba dyan na yung panganib
04:27ng bagyong uwan na tumama sa bansa
04:29kamakailan.
04:29So, anong naging tugunan dole
04:31sa mga sumbong na ito?
04:36Opo, anong natanggap po
04:37ng Department of Labor and Employment,
04:40kaagad po na gumawa ng aksyon
04:43sa Sekretary na Guesma,
04:44nagkaroon po ng meeting

05:46sa susunod na mga pangyayari
05:48and lahat po ito
