DEPARTMENT of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Francis N. Tolentino announced that around 1.1 million minimum wage earners in Metro Manila will receive a P60 daily wage increase based on Wage Order No. NCR-28.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The wage hike officially took effect on Saturday (Sept. 26)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the wage order, the minimum wage for non-agricultural workers in the NCR increases from P695 to P755 per day, while the minimum wage for workers in agriculture, small retail and service establishments employing 15 workers or less, and small manufacturing establishments regularly employing less than 10 workers increases from P658 to P718 per day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>\u201cDito natin naipakita ang kabuluhan ng isang tripartite mechanism kung saan ang pamahalaan, ang employers\u2019 groups, at ang employees\u2019 groups ay nagkakaisa para isulong at iangat ang dangal ng manggagawang Pilipino at maipakita rin na sa pagkakaisang ito ay makapagsulong ng isang sustainable economy dito sa NCR,\u201d Tolentino said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He called on employers to strictly comply with the new minimum wage rates effective Sept. 26 and ensure that their payroll and compensation systems reflect the prescribed increases.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tolentino said the DOLE will continue to monitor compliance with the wage order and provide guidance to workers and employers on its proper implementation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He emphasized that the wage order follows the established tripartite wage-setting process undertaken by the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board-NCR (RTWPB-NCR) and confirmed by the National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pay hike is part of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.\u2019s administration\u2019s continuing efforts to address workers\u2019 wage concerns while balancing workers\u2019 and employers\u2019 needs through the country\u2019s established system of tripartism and social dialogue<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
