Hi, hingi lang po sana ako ng advice. I immediately resigned last February due to health reasons. I was confined and undergone operation. Na-maximized ko po leaves ko which resulted to a negative pay. My COE indicated not cleared. Now, I’m planning to go back to the workforce since hindi naman ako mayaman 😭 I don’t have any means pa to settle my outstanding balance kaya gusto ko na magwork. Would not cleared COE affects my job applications? Natatakot ako sa background check baka dahil dun bumagsak ako 🥹

I joined here as a fresher with 2.5 lpa (16k / month) few weeks ago I got appraisal of 5% SO NOW SALARY IS 18k/month. I wasn't satisfied so I asked manager now she is saying that she will match my expectation of 6LPA but with 2 years of bond. What should I do should I stay for another 2 years or resign and look for better job. I am working in service based company, the current project demands me to be available on calls even on holidays and leaves. Seriously what should I do? I am scared to even sign a bond of 2 years again here. Also I am scared what if I don't get any job after resignation? Any advices from seniors please? I am really confused.

Edit: i work in a team of only 2 developers me and the other guy

Hi everyone, meron po ba ditong nag request sa company if pwede ibang bank gamitin sa payroll instead of their preferred bank? Currently have Loan sa bank and sadly itong bank ang gamit nila for payroll, binabayaran ko naman unti-unti pero kasi baka mag deduct sila if ma trace na may new account ako. Maraming salamat sa sasagot.

May TL kami na talagang abusive sa mga hawak nya. Lalo na pag may pinapagawa sa aming task na kailangan i-present sa boss nya.

Question: puede ko ba i-decline ung pinapagawa ng task on the basis na:

1. Wala sya sa contrata namin. Ang catch-all phrase sa contract namin ay: "and other ad-hoc tasks". Hindi na ad-hoc ung task na ito kasi may naka rotation na kami, monthly at planned, hindi rin urgent. It's the opposite of ad-hoc.

Ung task na pinapagawa sa amin ay "Notifications" at kailangan Comms skills para mag draft ng tamang salita. Eh mga technicians kami, hindi naman nakasaad sa contract namin ito at wala din sa job ad nung nag apply ako sa company.

2. Habang ginagawa ung task sinisigawan at ipinapahiya kami sa harap ng team. Tapos conflicting at kulang pa ung mga instructions nya, ipa pahula pa sa iyo kung ano ung ibig sabihin nya, na para bang sinasadya talaga para mag panic at magkamali, at lalo ka nyang sisigawan at ipapahiya.

May issue talaga ung TL namin, pero walang nag re report sa HR dahil hula ko lahat ng kasamahan ko sa Pinas ay mga foreign workers na may mga dependents, hawak ng company ang working permit nila.

Ako lang ung taga Pinas at walang dependents pero di ko talaga mapapalampas ung pang hihiya nya sa amin lalo na pag Pinoy ka.

Hindi lang sa akin ganun ung boss ko. Ganun sya sa lahat. Marami pa syang labor violations.

Taga Europe sya, kaya titignan ko din kung paano ko sya i-re-report sa HR sa bansa nila. Pareho lang name ng company, pero magkaibang multinational BPO kaya may mga branches sa ibang bansa.

Hi everyone, long post ahead pero gusto ko lang humingi ng advice/insights niyo kasi grabe yung anxiety ko ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung grabe ba talaga yung harassment sa akin or sadyang malas lang ako sa naging employer ko.

I was hired directly from US company via independent contractor last year pero nag establish na sila ng PH entity here sa Pinas so technically, nag babayad na sila ng government mandated benefits. Sa contract ko, 3 months lang ang probationary period starting Jan 1, 2026. Lumagpas na ako ng March 31 nang walang performance evaluation or any extension contract, so technically by operation of law, regular employee na ako.

Kaso recently, nagkaroon ako ng health issues. Na-consume ko yung 15 paid sick leaves ko sa loob lang ng kalahating taon. Mind you, LAHAT ng absences ko may valid Medical Certificates at sinisend ko on-time sa HR/Supervisor. Pero itong US HR at yung local PH acting supervisor ko, tinatrato nilang "unexcused" at absenteeism yung pagkakasakit ko. For the past few weeks, puro pananakot sa chat and email na ite-terminate ako ang ginagawa nila sa halip na mag-issue ng formal Notice to Explain (NTE).

Kahapon, nagkaroon ako ng biglaang family emergency. My shift starts at 12:00 PM PHT. As a responsible employee, nag-message ako sa PH acting supervisor ko ng 10:54 AM more than an hour before my shift para magsabi na male-late ako. Nag-thumbs up naman yung supervisor ko sa notice ko.

Akala ko okay na. Nag-log in ako para magtrabaho. Tapos nagulat ako, sa gitna ng shift ko, biglang nag-email yung US HR Director ng 8:44 PM PHT (8:44 AM EST) stating: "We are terminating your position effective immediately." Kasabay ng email na 'yun, tinanggalan na agad ako ng access sa Hubstaff (time tracker) habang nagtatrabaho ako! Walang NTE, walang Administrative Hearing, walang kahit ano. Fired on the spot mid-shift.

May iba pa silang violations tulad ng palaging na delayed payroll simula pa noong February (laging rason is "bank issue") pag sinabi kong delay, lagpas na talaga sa araw kung kelan kami sasahod based on the contract at sapilitang "holiday swapping" kung saan pinapasunod kami sa US EST holidays imbis na PH holidays (e.g. yung June 12 na Independence Day, ginawa nilang June 11 para sumabay sa timezone nila).

Basta, wala akong natanggap na NTE eversince. No admin hearing as well. Just a simple email and that’s it. Terminated na ako.

Nag-file na ako ng SEnA case sa DOLE kanina,

Gusto ko lang itanong sa mga HR experts or labor law enthusiasts dito:

1. ⁠Pasok na pasok ba 'to sa Illegal Termination / Dismissal case?

2. ⁠May habol ba sila sa rason nilang "absenteeism"

3. ⁠Tama lang ba na ituloy ko 'to sa DOLE kahit may PH lawyer representative sila?

Appreciate any insights or legal thoughts you can share. Thank you!

First job ko pa lang yung current work ko ngayon, then recently I applied sa iba and if ever, ito ang second job ko if matuloy. I passed the initial process naman, pero now they’re asking for character references including current supervisor, peer, and subordinate 😭

Concern ko lang is baka malaman ng current workplace ko na nagaapply ako elsewhere once they contact the references. Since first job ko nga to, wala rin akong previous employer/supervisor na pwede ilagay.

May nakaexperience na ba nito? Did you really put your current supervisor/workmates? Or may ibang ginawa kayo na acceptable naman sa HR without causing issues sa current work niyo 🥲. Govt application pala to

Hello everyone! Just wanna ask if I'm eligible for a separation pay. Wala akong mapagtanungan since wala kaming HR sa company, were a construction company.

Context:
I ask my boss if I can work fully WFH since hybrid set up kami. I have VA part time (with calls) which I ask for permission sa boss ko when he was still in autralia last May, he agreed naman to have a part time. But when he came back from Australian, I chat him ng saturday night "permission if possible na mag wfh nalang ako" and answered na pagusapan sa monday meeting. Then monday came he open the topic which I repeat na may VA part time ako but I did not disclosed the working days because I know to myself na "kaya ko naman pagsabayin" and he decided na until end of June nalang ako, which I agree kesa makipag talo sakanya, I even proposed to take another "task" para lang ma full fill yung wfh na pinoproposed ko but didn't agree. Plus when iran-us war happened he decided na bawasan pasok namin from mon to sat naging mon to fri without dole approval, thats why I took the chance to find a part time job kasi nabawasan sahod namin na kakapiranggot.

So my question is am I eligible for a separation pay? If yes anong pwedeng ibigay na dole articles or memo if ever di nila ako bigyan.

Recently, I got let go due to redundancy.

The separation pay was given first. But my final pay along with the SL and VL conversion hasn't come through yet.

When I spoke with HR, they said to give the finance department about 30 days.

If everything is good on my clearance (I already finished the clearance and there were no issues), is there a chance I could receive my final pay and SL & VL conversion in less than 30 days? Or will it really take the full 30 days?

Yun kawork ko nagkwento neto. Kanina lang sinabi sa akin na knwento sakanya ng store manager namin na hanapan raw ako ng mali para matanggal ako? Hahahaha. Siguro mga two weeks na raw sinabi sakanya, matagal na niya gusto sabihin sa akin.

I’d like to get some insights, especially from HR professionals or hiring managers.
For example, let’s say I start with my new company on June 26, but my official end date with my previous employer is July 10 because I’m still rendering my notice period.
I’m currently applying for a job, and my original plan was to file an immediate resignation so I could start ASAP. However, if the new company allows it, I can manage both my notice period and onboarding at the same time.
My concern is:
If I disclose this to HR before onboarding, could it affect my chances of being hired?
If I don’t mention it initially, but HR later notices that my employment dates overlap, is that usually considered a red flag?
From an HR perspective, is overlapping employment during the render period acceptable as long as there’s no conflict of interest and both companies’ policies aren’t violated?
I’d really appreciate hearing from HR professionals or anyone who’s encountered a similar situation. Thank you!

Hello po, i graduated college last 2023, right now kakagaling ko lang from my Autoimmune Disease. Ask ki lang should i disclose this to HR po?

Medyo nawawalan na kasi ako ng pag-asa to land a job, especially hindi pa ako pwede mag BPO because of my condition
