A management representative of the RTWPB-7 once told me that labor tends to confuse minimum wage and cost of living wage. They are entirely two different things which labor tends to confuse all the time.
The Minimum wage is the benchmark to which companies should not go under. Hence, it is now up to the company to adjust the standard of living of their by giving them appropriate increases in pay now that they have a starting point salary figure.
Yes, naay mu-violate. Naa man gyuy mu-violate sa law, kung ang uban politico mu-engage in such, how much more the private citizen?
Naturally, NOT ALL businesses can pay their employees the cost of living wage. That's why there's a minimum to which the government mandates all businesses to abide by. Mao nang gamit anang Minimum Wage. Some businesses can afford to pay their employees well enough nga hapit na gyud nila ma-abtan ang cost of living wage.
hypothetically if the cost of living wage is Php600/day, using the standards enforced by the government, that would approximately be Php18,250.
If YOU were the business owner, running a convenient store, would you pay your employees that much as ENTRY level after regularization? do you think you'd BOTHER to continue running that business knowing that a good 2/3 thirds of your expense is already in S&W?
