Sample Casual Employment Contract (English Version) – Soft Copy Editable Template
0 out of 5This is a soft copy template saved in Word File and editable in Word Document.
This contains the sample terms, conditions, clauses, and provisions of the contract described.
See the Description below to view the Contents of this soft copy template.
Casual employment is one of the exceptions to the regular employment provisions under Article 295 of the Labor Code, as amended.
The Labor Code states that the provisions of written agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and regardless of the oral agreement of the parties, an employment shall be deemed to be regular where the employee has been engaged to perform activities which are usually necessary or desirable in the usual business or trade of the employer, except where the employment has been fixed for a specific project or undertaking the completion or termination of which has been determined at the time of the engagement of the employee or where the work or service to be performed is seasonal in nature and the employment is for the duration of the season.
An employment shall be deemed to be casual if it is not covered by the preceding paragraph: Provided, That any employee who has rendered at least one year of service, whether such service is continuous or broken, shall be considered a regular employee with respect to the activity in which he is employed and his employment shall continue to exist.

For casual employment to exist, the position occupied by the employee should not be usually necessary or desirable in the usual trade or business of the employer.
What is “usually necessary and desirable?” It is a position without which an employer cannot pursue his operation or business.
For instance, in a software development company that sells applications and development services, a computer programmer position is usually necessary and desirable. Without the programmer, the company cannot come up with the product to sell to the market.
But in an insurance firm, computer programmer may not be necessary since the company can still sell insurance products without the programmer. Hence, the programmer in this case may be hired on project employment basis only.
Now, in crafting the contract for casual employment, the employer should bear in mind the following:
- The employment shall not be usually necessary and desirable in the usual trade or business of the employer
- The employment is limited in scope with respect to the activity in which he is employed
- The employment shall not exceed one year. If it does, the employee is considered regular with respect to such activity.
- The contract shall clearly indicate the date of termination or termination upon completion of activity
- Compensation and benefits
- Data privacy consent clause
- Duties and responsibilities
- Place of posting and transfer
The sample template is editable in Word 365 in 8.5’ x 13’.

Rating Tabulation for Probationary Employee
0 out of 5This product provides the tabulation for the metrics for probationary employee. LVS has a template for probationary contract.
The rule on probationary employment is that the employee becomes regular by operation of law after six (6) months of probationary employment. Now, the employer is expected to rate the employee at such frequency necessary.
The ideal is monthly rating. However, to balance administrative feasibility, it may be recommended that frequency be at least three times prior to 5th month of probation. For instance, after 2 months, after 3 months, and after 5 months of probationary status.
Read more..
The rating clause in the probationary template provides, as follows:
- In the performance of duties, the PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEE shall be evaluated to determine fitness for the position as a regular worker. The following standards of weight shall be used to ascertain whether she would qualify as a regular employee:
- Performance 30%
- Punctuality/Attendance 20%
- Behavior 20%
- Teamwork 20%
- Initiative 10%
- The total weight is 100%. If the PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEE receives a total weight below 85% it shall be deemed as failure to meet the standards which may be ground for dismissal based on failure to qualify;
- Performance metrics representing 30% of the total weight shall be based on the following:
- Business knowledge 20%
- Output/production 50%
- Resourcefulness 20%
- Teamwork 10%
- Punctuality/attendance shall be 20% subject to deduction of 3% for every instance of tardiness and 4% for every instance of absence. Absence due to medical reason shall be supported with notarized medical certificate and for other reasons a sworn statement of the fact of absence and affidavits of disinterested persons. Failure to produce said documents and records within two (2) days from absence shall be deemed unauthorized absence;
- Behavior shall be 20% subject to deduction for every citation or violation of company rules, to wit:
- Written warning – less 2%
- Stern warning – less 5%
- Written reprimand – less 6%
- 1-day Suspension – less 7%
- Longer suspension – less 10%
- The PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEE is expected to be a team player and work in coordination with other employees. A teamwork rating shall be made by immediate superior based on the result of the latter’s interview or assessment of the feedback of other employees or team members, as the case may be;
- The rating for Initiative shall be given by the immediate superior based on how the PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEE acts on tasks on his/her own without any express direction by the superior bearing in mind the goals and objectives of the company.
To rate such employee, it is easier if there is already a table showing the rating weights so the rater can just fill out the numbers and calculate the total score.
This product supplies the template for the table based on the above rating weights which can be very helpful to arrive at the decision whether to regularize the probationary employee or terminate the services.

Contract For Regular Employment Monthly Paid (English Version) – Soft Copy Editable Template
0 out of 5This is a soft copy template saved in Word File and editable in Word Document.
This contains the sample terms, conditions, clauses, and provisions of the contract described.
See the Description below to view the Contents of this soft copy template.
A regular employee is one who passed the probationary period, has been in the company for at least six months, or was engaged as such without undergoing probationary period.
The legal basis of regular employment is mainly Article 295 of the Labor Code, as amended.
Article 295 provides that the provisions of written agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and regardless of the oral agreement of the parties, an employment shall be deemed to be regular where the employee has been engaged to perform activities which are usually necessary or desirable in the usual business or trade of the employer.
This means that even if there is a written agreement that the employee is not of regular status, he is still considered regular if has been engaged to perform activities which are usually necessary or desirable in the usual business or trade of the employer.
This template is for monthly paid employees. As opposed to daily paid, monthly paid employees
Monthly-paid employees are those who are paid every day of the month, including unworked rest days, special days, and regular holidays. Factor 365 days in a year is used in determining the equivalent monthly salary of monthly-paid employees. (I, D, DOLE 2020 Handbook Workers’ Statutory Monetary Benefits)
Daily-paid employees are those who are paid on the days they actually worked and on unworked regular holidays. (Ibid.)
With the use of 365-day factor, the company should make sure that employees engaged are not below the minimum. The 365 day factor is used to determine the daily rate of the monthly paid employee. For instance, if an employee earns PhP20,000.00 per month, the daily equivalent using the 365 factor is as follows:
PhP20,000 per month x 12 months = PhP240,000
PhP240,000 per year / 365 days per year = PhP657.53 per day
Hence, the daily equivalent of the monthly pay of PhP20,000 is PhP657.53.

Release, Waiver and Quitclaim Third Party Shot Dead – Soft Copy Editable Template
0 out of 5DESCRIPTION OF RELEASE, WAIVER & QUITCLAIM FOR NON-EMPLOYEE WHO WAS SHOT DEAD
This is a soft copy template saved in Word File and editable in Word Document.
This contains the sample terms, conditions, clauses, and provisions of the contract described.
See the Description below to view the Contents of this soft copy template.
This form contemplates a situation where there are claimants against the company for the alleged death caused by its security contractor who shot dead the individual or third-party individual. There are other situations where death may be caused to third party.
The challenge always is how to craft a document that will legally improve the protection of the company against any lawsuit if it intends to extend a helping hand to the relatives of spouse of the deceased.
The relative and/or spouse here is the one claiming damages against the company. While the company has several defenses in this case, the company may decide to buy peace and provide financial assistance.
In doing so, the release thereof should be documented to prevent any further action from the claimant against the company or its officers. Thus, a Release, Waiver & Quitclaim may be executed by the spouse, common law partner, or any person acting in behalf of the interests of the deceased person.
Read more..
The draft template here addresses the following concerns:
- The claimant should release and remiss the company and its officers from any claim;
- The claimant clearly states the relationship to the deceased;
- The claimant does not make any statement that will incriminate or establish criminal liability against the alleged actor or any person acting for the company;
The following terms are stated:
- Claimant is of legal age,
- Residence of the claimant
- Declaration of claimant as the duly authorized representative of the family for and in behalf of the deceased person
- Name of the deceased person
- Relationship of the claimant to the deceased person such as being the common law partner / spouse, etc.
- Description of the incident without specifying any suspect or declaring liability;
- Decision of the company to release the fund due for the above deceased as well as financial assistance;
- Statement of release, remiss and forever discharge of the company, its stockholders, Directors, Officers, President, Treasurer, executives, managers, employees, representatives and any other persons working or dealing for and in behalf thereof, from any and all liabilities, damages or injuries caused to claimant and his family or may be caused, as a result of the service not having materialized, and for any other such liabilities, damages or injuries which may now or in the future arise as a result thereof;
- If found hereinafter that there would be any other consequential or resulting damage, liability or injury, whether actual, moral, exemplary or in any other form of damage, not evident as of that time, that the amount given shall constitute as full and final settlement for such damage, liability or injury;
Statement of voluntary, free and unconditional declaration that the claimant and his family have no further claims or right of action, whether past, present, future or contingent, of whatever nature - Statement of waiver of any and all claims and causes of actions or judgments of any tribunal;
- Statement not to institute any action, whether civil, criminal, labor or administrative against the company, its directors, officers, employees, agents and clients;
- Statement that any and all actions which may have been commenced are deemed and considered voluntary withdrawn by me and he will no longer testify or continue to prosecute said action(s); and
- Statement that the claimant fully understands all the statements made.

Probationary Employment Evaluation Packet Super 5™ – Soft Copy Editable Template
0 out of 5How to Evaluate Probationary Employees Using the
Probationary Employment Evaluation Packet Super 5This is a soft copy template saved in Word File and editable in Word Document.
This contains the sample terms, conditions, clauses, and provisions of the contracts described and the forms included.
See the Description below to view the Contents of this soft copy template.
One of the challenging aspects of monitoring the performance of a probationary employee is the establishment of performance ratings, metrics, or measures.
It is a settled rule that a probationary employee who was not apprised of the reasonable standards of performance to become regular employee is deemed regular from day one.
The same effect occurs for employees who have been with the company for at least six months and have not undergone performance evaluation. No matter how low did the probationary employee perform if the employer did not rate him with reasonable standards terminating the worker for failure to qualify is extremely risky.Read more..
Thus, when dealing with probationary employees, the company should have:
- Reasonable standards
- Made known such standards at the time of engagement
- Performance measures
- Periodic evaluation
- Clear rating plan, form, and template
With the right tools, the life of the employer would be bearable and the risk minimized to manageable level.
It is indeed a nerve-wracking exercise to devise the reasonable standards from scratch. However, this is made easy by the new products of LVS Rich Publishing known as the Probationary Employment Evaluation Packet Super 5.
This new soft copy product provides the proposed standards required for probationary to perform to qualify as regular employee. There are metrics with ratings and weights. There is a sample evaluation form where the employee rates himself and his superior then an average of the two ratings is obtained.
The rating system covers Performance, Punctuality/Attendance, Behavior, Teamwork, and Initiative. The total weight is 100%. If the probationary receives an average weight below 75% in one month, it shall be deemed as failure to meet the standards which may be ground for dismissal based on failure to qualify. Of course the buyer of this product can change the weight and rates according to what is considered applicable and necessary.
Performance metrics representing 30% of the total weight is based on Business Knowledge, Output/Production, Resourcefulness, and Teamwork.
Punctuality/attendance is one of the tricky areas to measure. The template though considers this as already 100% of its weight. It is given 20% weight subject to deduction of 3% for every instance of tardiness and 4% for every instance of unauthorized absence.Behavior is another matter of the same level of difficulty. To rate this, it is already pegged at 20% subject to deduction for every citation or violation of company rules, such as:
- Written warning – less 2%
- Stern warning – less 5%
- Written reprimand – less 6%
- 1-day Suspension – less 7%
- Longer suspension – less 10%
As to Performance metrics, sample rating spread can be seen in the Performance Review Template Excel File under the “Performance Weights” Sheet.
The rating system provides the following:
Outstanding Performance (OP) – Highest performance rating Reserved for individuals who continually achieve outstanding results and utilize their abilities in making contributions beyond their primary areas of responsibility.
Commendable Performance (CP) – Performance is above the expected level for the position making contributions beyond expectations in completion of assignments.
Effective Performance (EP) – Performance consistently meets supervisory expectations of the position requirements in making a valuable contribution to the overall objectives of the Group.
Marginal Performance (MP) – Performance does not consistently meet normal expectations and position requirements, improvement is required.
Unacceptable Performance (UP) – Performance fails to meet normal expectations and position requirements. Termination should be considered unless improvement is demonstrated in a short period of time.The buyer can Print Sheet 1 of the Performance Review Template Excel File entitled “Proby Metrics” Sheet as form in Performance Review where ratings shall be filled in. This will be used to tally the evaluation results based on performance metrics.
The Evaluation Packet comes with the Evaluation Guidelines file in Word document that will guide the user on how the evaluate the probationary employee using this product.
To further make this exercise easy, a sample evaluation of probationary employee is provided just to give the user a complete picture of how it will be done.
Upon purchase, the following files will be sent to the buyer’s email account from LVS’ Gmail Account:

Guide on Employee Compensation and Benefits Vol. 1, Second Edition
0 out of 5This book is the 2nd edition of one of ATTY. ELVIN B. VILLANUEVA’s best selling titles Guide on Employee Compensation and Benefits Volume 1. HR Practitioners, both new and veterans will find this work useful in understanding and keeping up with the latest rules, doctrines and principles on labor standards.
The subject matter of compensation and benefits is among the edgy topics which most HR practitioners, business managers, and even owners find challenging. As always, anything that deals with human psychology on pay, rewards, motivation, and equity requires full attention and creative solution.
Read more..
This work discusses the labor standards most particularly the exceptive rules where most practitioners are often blindsided. The rules and doctrines are tackled with illustrations and sample computations. Presentation of pay computations proceeds from the ordinary day, regular holiday, special day, and rest day or a combination of both holidays and rest days. These affects the daily rate, overtime, and nightshift differential.
There are relevant Supreme Court decisions where the high court interprets crucial areas of compensation. Rules on successive regular holidays are shown with example. Also, illustrative cases for overtime and nightshift differential are shown using different hours worked such as 2-hour, 4-hour, or even 8-hour OT and nightshift with computations when these coincide or concur on the same day.
The author also delineates the impact of benefits when the clock strikes 12:00 midnight such as on overtime, holiday pay, etc. This is particularly crucial for those with call center operations. Also discussed are company-initiated benefits rule, management prerogative to require overtime work, rule on travel time, brownout and other time-related issues.
New laws and rules are correlated with existing ones in the Labor Code such as the lactation period, primer on expanded maternity leave law (with sample salary differential computation), DO 178 and DO 184 on breaks mandated for employees who need to stand or sit for too long at work and the telecommuting act which affects the hours of work depending on the arrangement between the employer and employee.At the end of the day, compensation and benefits is an interesting area of HR/Labor practice. The key to harmony is understanding of the rules and it starts with acquisition of knowledge.

Sample Contract for Part-Time Employment (English Version) – Soft Copy Editable Template
0 out of 5This is a soft copy template saved in Word File and editable in Word Document.
This contains the sample terms, conditions, clauses, and provisions of the contract described.
See the Description below to view the Contents of this soft copy template.
A part-time employee is one who is engaged to perform services for a shorter period of time than those considered as normal in the establishment. This type of employee may undergo probationary period. The probation period of a part-time employee shall be equivalent to the hours it takes a full-time employee to complete a six- month probationary period.
Thus, a part-time employee can be a regular employee also. Acquiring a regular status is not dictated by the amount of time per day one has to render service.
An employee can acquire regular status when the term of his contract shows that he is engaged in a regular or permanent status; when the term of his employment indicates that he is employed for an indefinite period; when he continues to perform work or services even after the expiration of the probationary period, and when he performs work or services usually necessary or desirable in the usual business or trade of the employer.
One’s regularity of employment is not determined by the number of hours one works but by the nature and by the length of time one has been in that particular job. (Perpetual Help Credit Cooperative vs. Faburada, G.R. No. 121948. October 8, 2001)
Read more..
Now, in crafting the contract for part-time employment, the employer should bear in mind the following:
- The employment is for part-time employment only
- The contract shall clearly indicate the date of termination or termination upon completion of activity
- Compensation and benefits
- Data privacy consent clause
- Duties and responsibilities
- Place of posting and transfer
- Office Decorum
