"Trainee" not covered by Labor laws?

[mazkot]

---

Got a friend was hired as a supervisor but was placed as a " trainee" for 1 month and was told that there will be an assessment if she will be placed as probationary. on the date of of being 1 month she was told by the accountant that she will not report the next day as instructed by the manager which was on leave.

She went to NLRC and the person there told her that they cannot do anything because she is just a trainee. and that they can only help people who are regular.

The problem was that she introduced new suppliers to the company and the these suppliers prefer to talk to her rather than the manger and other staff.

And basing from the staff that this a regular practice done by the manger, hires supervisors and just use them to do some work and when that work is done no advance notice or what so ever.

Na-a pa ba mabuhat ako friend or i ampo na lng sa ginoo na ma karma na manger?

sad fact...thats a loophole exploited by some bastos callcenters out there. They take the opportunity to railroad you out of the company if they perceive you as a threat or they notice that you can stand up for your self...

depende jud na sa company.

even big companies exploit that trainee ruling mao luoy kaayo ang uban di jud ma regular.
common ni sa malls or industries nga sayon ra kaayo ang work.

naa pud mga call center ani ang style, allowance ra while training and regular rate na if ma regular.
but sa Convergys, full pay, healthcare ug life insurance jud even on 1st day of training pa.

so pasalamat lang jud ta if sa atong current work dili ta under ug agency(exploited sad ni) ug sakto ang pay even if trainee pa.

?

This is a problem the company will have to deal with for letting her go. Not her problem.

Covered to a certain extent ang Trainees sa Labor Code but do not have the same rights as a Regular employee. I'll post more info about this later. Ka luoy sad sa imo friend TS.

ang point lng niya was walay due process ang pag end niya. ug instead sa manager, accountant pa gyud nag ingon. ug wa pa reason d sya i probationary.
then karon ma uwaw sya mu ingon sa suppliers na d na sya connected sa company.

consult a lawyer usa they know better than the staff sa NLRC unless lawyer pod to iyang na istorya.net ..basta Govt employee expect jud nga d ganahan ug kuti moa to gibalibaran xa...

those who are placed on a probationary status are still entitled to due process. there must be cause for separation, meaning, management is obliged to point out which standards your friend failed to meet as a probationary employee. good luck!

Kung trainee, wala man gani SSS, Philhealth and Pag-ibig. Kay trainee paman. Pero......... ang naka advantage if e hire ka as trainee, wala paka deduction sa Tax.

Naa man limitations ang job assignment sa usa ka trainee. Basta, dili lang siya tagaan ug dako kaayo nga responsibilities. Katong ge ingon nimo TS nga gepa pangita siya ug customers and clients, I'm sorry but it is a part of being a trainee.

If trainee or contractual status ka, discretion ra jud na sa company if e hire ka or dili. Even without just cause, they have the power on their fingertips to hire you as a probationary status.

If probi nuon, naa jud just cause if dili ka ma regular. Naa man nay ge ingon nila nga "Advised to resign". If naa jud good reason ang company e terminate ka pero maluoy sila nimo kay mahugaw imong record, mao na nga e advised to resign ka.... kay kung dili ka pa tuo... Termination with just cause ang imong madala nga pabaon. Which is badshot sa imong record.

Anyways, it's better to consult a lawyer or HR expert para mas daghan paka ma kuha nga information.
