Contract for Probationary Employment Monthly Paid English Version
₱1,595.00CONTRACT FOR PROBATIONARY EMPLOYMENT FOR MONTHLY PAID EMPLOYEE
SOFT COPY DESCRIPTION
A probationary employee is one who, for a given period of time, is being observed and evaluated to determine whether or not he is qualified for permanent employment.
A probationary appointment affords the employer an opportunity to observe the skill, competence and attitude of a probationer.
The word probationary, as used to describe the period of employment, implies the purpose of the term or period (Enchanted Kingdom, Inc. vs. Verzo, G.R. No. 209559, December 09, 2015).
While the employer observes the fitness, propriety and efficiency of a probationer, to ascertain whether he is qualified for permanent employment, the probationer, at the same time, seeks to prove to the employer that he has the qualifications to meet the reasonable standards for permanent employment. (41Escorpizo v. University of Baguio, 366 Phil. 166, 175-176 (1999).)

The concept of probationary employment was, thus, introduced for the benefit of the employer to provide him with ample time to observe and determine whether a newly hired employee has the competence, ability and values necessary to achieve his objectives.
Probationary employment shall not exceed six (6) months from the date the employee started working, unless it is covered by an apprenticeship agreement stipulating a longer period. The services of an employee who has been engaged on a probationary basis may be terminated for a just cause or when he fails to qualify as a regular employee in accordance with reasonable standards made known by the employer to the employee at the time of his engagement. An employee who is allowed to work after a probationary period shall be considered a regular employee.
Employers should be careful in crafting probationary employment since any ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of labor (Art. 4, Labor Code). Such favor means regular employment since it offers a better status of the employee.
It bears noting as well that an employee who was not informed of the reasonable standards for regular employment shall be deemed as regular from day one. Thus, it makes better sense when these standards are included in the contract.
As held in Buiser vs. Leogardo, an probationary employment may also be extended upon mutual consent of the parties. This means that instead of terminating an employee who failed the trial period he is given a chance. Now, to avoid ambiguity, the employment contract should already provide a clause for this just like what is found in this template.

Every married male employee in the private and public sectors shall be entitled to a paternity leave of seven (7) days with full pay for the first four (4) deliveries of the legitimate spouse with whom he is cohabiting.
In the IRR of the law, “Paternity Leave” refers to the leave credits granted to a married male employee to allow him to earn compensation for seven (7) working days without reporting for work, provided that his spouse has delivered a child or had a miscarriage or an abortion for the purpose of lending support to his wife during her period of recovery and/or the nursing of the newly born child.

c. his wife has given birth, suffers a miscarriage or an abortion.As soon as the married male employee learns that his spouse is pregnant, he shall inform his employer of such pregnancy and the expected date of delivery within a reasonable period of time.
The employee shall accomplish a Paternity Notification Form to be provided for by the employer and submit the same to the latter, together with a copy of his marriage contract, or where not applicable, any proof of marriage. The notification requirement shall not apply in cases of miscarriage or abortion.
Any employee who has availed of the paternity benefits shall, within a reasonable period of time, submit a copy of the birth certificate of the newly born child, death or medical certificate in case of miscarriage or abortion, duly signed by the attending physician or midwife showing actual date of childbirth, miscarriage or abortion, as the case may be.

Sample Termination of probationary employment
₱1,750.00The template provided will assist employers / companies in properly and validly executing the termination of probationary employees. (Note: There is a sample Notice of Termination for Failure to Qualify / of Probationary Employee below this guide)
Termination of probationary employment is a technical matter under the Philippine law. There are specific rules applicable only to probationary employees which if confused with all others may cause issues to the employer or the company.
Under Art. 296 of the Labor Code, as amended, a probationary employment shall not exceed six (6) months from the date the employee started working, unless it is covered by an apprenticeship agreement stipulating a longer period. The services of an employee who has been engaged on a probationary basis may be terminated for a just cause or when he fails to qualify as a regular employee in accordance with reasonable standards made known by the employer to the employee at the time of his engagement. An employee who is allowed to work after a probationary period shall be considered a regular employee.
Read more..
Section 6 (d) of the Implementing Rules of Book VI, Rule I of the Labor Code provides that there is probationary employment where the employee, upon his engagement, is made to undergo a trial period during which the employer determines his fitness to qualify for regular employment based on reasonable standards made known to him at the time of engagement.
In the case of Agustin vs. Alphaland Corporation, [G.R. No. 218282, September 09, 2020] the Supreme Court (SC) held that in all cases of probationary employment, the employer shall make known to the employee the standards under which he will qualify as a regular employee at the time of his engagement. Where no standards are made known to the employee at that time, he shall be deemed a regular employee.
Hence, to safely terminate a probationary employee, there has to be a probationary employment contract where it is clearly stated that the employer / company has made known to the employee the standards under which he will qualify as a regular employee at the time of his engagement. Further, that failure on his part to meet such standards, the employment shall be terminated for failure to qualify.
Reasonable standards shall refer to those measures which the employer will use as basis for qualification. These may include standards on performance, behavior, cooperation, punctuality, etc.
Assuming that these standards are present and there are valid stipulations in the Contract for Probationary Employment, the sample Notice of Termination for Failure to Qualify (template) will serve the purpose

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.

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.

About the Book – PDF
The subject matter of job contracting and subcontracting is a tricky territory for companies, business owners, and managers. Understanding the technical sides of it are usually 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 use of the word “treacherous” to describe it may be strong, it is justified by the fact that engaging in contracting is very technical and companies may get penalized for lapses in compliance with requirements. A single mistake, regardless of intentions, of the parties can be catastrophic.
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 as labor-only contracting. The 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 applicable. 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. Likewise, 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 are also discussed.
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) are important parts of this matter. 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 into the traps of technicalities.
