Contract For Regular Employment Monthly Paid (English Version) – Soft Copy Editable Template
₱1,845.00This 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.

Data privacy law is probably one of the hallmark legislations in the country protecting the personal information of individuals transacting with any entity.
The Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA) declares that it is the policy of the State to protect the fundamental human right of privacy, of communication while ensuring free flow of information to promote innovation and growth. The State recognizes the vital role of information and communications technology in nation-building and its inherent obligation to ensure that personal information in information and communications systems in the government and in the private sector are secured and protected.
It is a practice for some companies to provide the health coverage for its employees in the form of a health card provider or Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). As a matter of procedure, employees would undergo medical checkup, operation, diagnosis, etc. and the results are made available only to the employees involved.
In certain cases, the HMO and/or medical facility/entity would refuse to provide the company or employer a copy of the results as the same may violate the DPA. The medical information may form part of the protected personal information or sensitive personal information.

As defined by law, “personal information” refers to any information whether recorded in a material form or not, from which the identity of an individual is apparent or can be reasonably and directly ascertained by the entity holding the information, or when put together with other information would directly and certainly identify an individual.
Further, “sensitive personal information ” refers to personal information:
(1) About an individual’s race, ethnic origin, marital status, age, color, and religious, philosophical or political affiliations;
(2) About an individual’s health, education, genetic or sexual life of a person, or to any proceeding for any offense committed or alleged to have been committed by such person, the disposal of such proceedings, or the sentence of any court in such proceedings;
(3) Issued by government agencies peculiar to an individual which includes, but not limited to, social security numbers, previous or current health records, licenses or its denials, suspension or revocation, and tax returns; and
(4) Specifically established by an executive order or an act of Congress to be kept classified.
As a rule, the processing of sensitive personal information and privileged information is prohibited. There are exceptions under the law, to wit:
(a) The data subject has given his or her consent, specific to the purpose prior to the processing, or in the case of privileged information, all parties to the exchange have given their consent prior to processing;
(b) The processing of the same is provided for by existing laws and regulations: Provided, That such regulatory enactments guarantee the protection of the sensitive personal information and the privileged information: Provided, further, That the consent of the data subjects are not required by law or regulation permitting the processing of the sensitive personal information or the privileged information;
(c) The processing is necessary to protect the life and health of the data subject or another person, and the data subject is not legally or physically able to express his or her consent prior to the processing;
(d) The processing is necessary to achieve the lawful and noncommercial objectives of public organizations and their associations: Provided, That such processing is only confined and related to the bona fide members of these organizations or their associations: Provided, further, That the sensitive personal information are not transferred to third parties: Provided, finally, That consent of the data subject was obtained prior to processing;
(e) The processing is necessary for purposes of medical treatment, is carried out by a medical practitioner or a medical treatment institution, and an adequate level of protection of personal information is ensured; or
(f) The processing concerns such personal information as is necessary for the protection of lawful rights and interests of natural or legal persons in court proceedings, or the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or when provided to government or public authority.
While it appears that in an employer-employee relationship, the information obtained from the employee is in relation to such employment, there is a need to have a clear consent to process the information on the part of the employer. Hence, if the information is shared by the employee with the medical facility and the results are generated, the employer can be authorized by the employee to have such copy.
This should be in the form of an express consent since an individual’s health is a sensitive personal information under the law which can only be processed if there is an express consent by the data subject.
Thus, the sample template will be very helpful where the employee gives consent for the company to process the sensitive personal information obtained by the health provider in an HMO setting.
This form is better used with the document proving authority of the company to its duly authorized representative to obtain said information and all other records in relation thereto.

Rating Tabulation for Probationary Employee
₱1,950.00This 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.

Guide to Valid Job Contracting and Subcontracting 2nd Edition
The subject matter of job contracting and subcontracting is a trick territory for businesses their owners. Understanding the technical sides of it are left to the experts and practitioners.
Nonetheless, even experts find the topic challenging. This book is intended to help companies, business owners, managers, expats, and HR practitioners navigate through the “treacherous waters” of job contracting and subcontracting.
While the word “treacherous” used to describe it may be strong the association to it is justified by the fact that engaging in contracting is very technical. A single mistake, regardless of intentions, of the parties will be catastrophic.
Read more..
Imagine, for instance, a big company contracting hundreds of workers with what it thought was a legitimate contract, which due to technical errors the
authorities suddenly found the relationship a labor-only contracting. The said scores of employees of contractor will become regular with the principal. This will surely blow the pay grade of the company out of proportion. The correction and/or adjustments needed will be enormous and costly.This work provides not just laws, rules, and regulations. It gives perspective, insight, and the bird’s-eye view of the situation to serve as a map to the right direction. It tackles D.O. 174, Series of 2017 which superseded D.O. 18- A. The DOLE Advisory 01, Series of 2017 providing exceptions. Relevant rules such as D.O. 19, D.O. 13, and D.O. 198, among others.
Also, R.A. 11058 and relevant decisions of the Supreme Court on the matter, most especially, on off-detail status in a 2019 case, Bognot vs. Pinic International (Trading) Corporation/CD-R King, et al., (G.R. No. 212471, March 11, 2019). Can individuals with unique skills and talents engage in contracting without registration under D.O. 174? The author discussed the answer in this work.
Salient points of D.O. 174 include the substantial capital of P5 million, shortened validity of the registration, concepts of temporary off-detail, expiration of service agreement, termination for just cause, authorized cause, and not due to expiration of service agreement and their implications.
This book is a compliance guide, first and foremost, to help businesses in their quest to achieve their objectives the legal way and without accidentally falling in the traps of technicalities.
