kabayan,

ayon po sa EPS policy, 3-times release lang po talaga ang allowed sa loob ng 3-yrs sojourn mo. pero if meron kang isang release na ang reason ay closure of company due bankruptcy, hindi po yun dapat i-include sa counting...

after your 3-yrs sojourn is expired and you will be reemployed by your current employer for another 1yr and 10mos, meron ka na namang panibagong 2-times release sa loob ng 1yr at 10mos na sojourn mo...

hope my answer would help.. tnx...

kabayan,

ilang regular workers po ba kayo dyan sa company? if less than 5 lang kasama ang mgha korean workers, yung overtime work nyo discretion po ng amo nyo kung magkano lang bayad... or kung ano lang ang nakalagay sa kontrata nyo kasi limited lang po ang benefits ng workers sa family business according to Labor Law...

pero dapat sinusunod pa rin ang current basic hourly minimum wage na 4,110won per hour or katumbas sa 928,860won sa isang buwan working 8hrs Mon~ Friday plus 4hrs Sat... if meron kayong overtime, dapat mataas pa dyan ang sahod nyo...

pero kung more than five naman kayo lahat dyan, the company should pay you additional 50% during overtime work and nightshift work which is 50% x 4,110 = 2,055won (additional wage per hour)

so, for example if you work 30hrs overtime in one month, the computation is 30hrs x (4,110 + 2,055) = 184,950won (total overtime wage) in addition sa basic salary mo na 928,860won

if 800,000won lang basic nyo, violation po yan ng company... matagal na ba kayo dyan? magrereklamo kayo sa amo nyo... or punta kayo ng labor office...

for more questions you may call me at 010-9294-4365

thanks..

hi bluecool,

please refer below for my answer based from Labor Standard Act and NLCC's explanation...

1) 3-months Probationary Period with 10% salary deduction is actually not specified in the Labor Standard Act particularly to E-9 Visa holders... but employers may apply but there must be an mutual agreement between the worker and the employer through Employment Contract and should be approved by the competent Local Labor Office... if the probationary period condition is aplied without the agreement by the concerned worker (not stated in the contract) and without the approval from the Labor Office, violation na po yan... IN THAT WAY HINDI PO PWEDE MAGDEDUCT ANG EMPLOYER NG ANY AMOUNT SA SALARY...

2) ung libreng pabahay, pagkain, at bonus, descretion po yan ng company to give such benefits to the employer but IT DOES NOT MEAN NA DAHIL LIBRE KAYO PWEDE NA SILANG HINDI MAGBIGAY NG TAMANG SAHOD ACCORDING TO THE MINIMUM WAGE... hindi po pwede ideduct yun sa salary ng isang worker sakaling magpaparelease kayo...

hope my answer would help... thanks...
