National Wages and Productivity Commission(NWPC)

January 30, 2023 Dear MICHAELLA BAYAS, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jan 27, 2023 02:08:30 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your Request You asked for Minimum Wage Hike (2nd Tranche). Response to Request Ito ay may kaugnayan sa inyong mensahe tungkol sa dagdag na umento sa arawan minimum na pasahod sa ilalim ng Wage Order No. IV-A-19 na kung saan na ang naturang nabanggit na lugar (AMADEO, Cavite) ay nakapaloob sa Resource Based-Area na may arawang minimum pasahod at katumbas na buwanag sahod ay ang sumusunod: Minimum Wage Earners Resource-Based Area : Amadeo, Cavite Daily Minimum Wage effective Dec. 30, 2022: P350 Estimated Equivalent Monthly Rate: 6 days-workweek* P 9,129 5 days-workweek** P 8,925 * Used factor 313 days for those who do not work and are not considered paid on Sundays or rest days. ** Used factor 261 days for those who do not work and are not considered paid on Saturdays and Sundays or rest day. Nais naming linawin na ang pagtaas sa pasahod na ipinagkakaloob ng Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards ay sumasakop lamang sa mga manggagawang tumatanggap ng minimum na pasahod na kadalasan ay unskilled at kabilang sa bulnerableng sektor. Ang kasalukuyan buwanang sahod na tinatanggap ng isang manggawa na mas mataas sa itinakda ng wage order ay naaayon sa batas ng labor standard, na wala dapat bumaba sa itinakda na minimum na pasahod. Kung magdudulot ng wage distortion sa ibang empleyado bilang epekto ng panibagong pagtatakda sa kasalukuyang pasahod, maari itong lutasin sa pamamagitan ng collective bargaining agreement o sa pamamagitan ng voluntary arbitration.
