Hello Istoryans,
I am working as a health professional in a private hospital and we are told by our heads for the new working hours of all employees in Central Visayas (as what told) working in hospital institution as mandated by the DOLE and it will take effect on January of 2013.
Hospital employees will now work 12 hours in two shifts (instead of 3 shifts) from 6 am - 6 pm and 6 pm to 6 am contrary to the traditional shifting hours which is 6 am - 2 pm, 2 pm - 10 pm, and 10 pm - 6 am.
They said that it will be now 3 days work (12 hours) and 4 days off interval with a total of 14 days of work in a month. and 16 days total of day offs.
Have you heard about this news from DOLE or someone else?
What do you think about this new implementation mandated by DOLE?
hope to hear from you!
