The Regional Tripartite Wage and Productivity Board , in collaboration with the Dept. of Labor and Employment in Region IV-A, has started holding orientation seminars on the New Wage Order No. IV-A15 which took effect May 15.
RTWPB IV-A board secretary Robelinda dela Rosa said the orientation aims to inform employers and employees on the new wage hike expected to raise the standard of living of wage earners in Southern Tagalog.
A day before the effectivity of the new order, an orientation was held at the Sta. Rosa Premier Hotel in coordination with the association of semi-conductors and personnel administrators.
In that orientation, Dela Rosa presented the two-tier wage system under the new wage order.
The first tier, with a floor wage of P255, covers all workers and functions as a social safety net while the second tier is a productivity based pay to be determined jointly by workers and management in line with agreed productivity or performance criteria.
