Dear SARAH JANE RODRIGUEZ,

We are pleased to advise you that you have successfully passed our application requirements for the position of Teammate and
we are employing you on a probationary basis, under the following terms and conditions:

Employment Status. This probationary employment is for a period not to exceed 180 days, commencing on 05/18/2022 and
ending on 11/14/2022, unless we notify you in writing on or before said date that your services will be regularized. If your
probationary employment is insufficient to determine your suitability, qualifications, character, conduct, skill, and capabilities, your
probationary employment may, upon your request or your prior written consent, be extended at the option of the Company.

Standards for Regularization. During this probationary employment period, you will be working with us on a trial basis and your
conversion to permanent status shall be determined based, in part, on the following reasonable standards, which were made
known to you at the time of your engagement:

a. Skills required in the specific nature of work


b. Dependability
c. Efficiency
d. Initiative
e. Attitude toward work/ the public/ the company/ its officers/other colleagues
f. Cooperation or working relationship with co-employees
g. Customer Response
h. Judgment
i. Attendance/ Punctuality/ Schedule Adherence
j. Quality of work
k. Quantity of work
l. Articulateness
m.Professionalism
n. Trustworthiness

Other varying qualitative standards and metrics such as key performance indicators, which may change from time to time as may
be required by the business, shall likewise be used in assessing your aptitude and shall be made known to you prior to
imposition.

In the event your performance is determined to be unsatisfactory, or falls short of the performance standards/criteria required by
the Company or its clients, the Company reserves the right to terminate your services at anytime, subject to observance of
substantive and procedural due process as may be required by law.

Performance Evaluation. Your regularization shall be determined and evaluated by your immediate superior, based on
performance evaluations on or before your FIFTH (5th) MONTH, in which you are required to achieve at least an average
satisfactory rating.

Compensation. For giving your entire time and attention to the work assigned to you, you shall be paid a salary of Sixteen
Thousand Pesos (₱16,000.00) per month, payable semi-monthly, on the 15th and last day of each calendar month, subject to
withholding taxes and other statutory deductions. Your salary already includes compensation for unworked legal holidays and the
mandatory allowance under existing laws.

Also, as the Company espouses a “no work, no pay” policy, appropriate deductions from this monthly compensation may be
applied if you fail to report for work when required or scheduled to do so, or when the work has been stopped on account of force
majeure or circumstances beyond the Company’s control (e.g. delays in project implementation, natural calamities and the like).

Benefits, Allowances and Bonuses. You shall be entitled to such benefits and bonuses as specified in Appendix “A”, which is
hereby made an integral part of this Contract. Except for the statutory benefits required by law, these allowances, benefits and
bonuses are given at the Company’s discretion and their grant should not be deemed as company policy or constitutive of
company practice, as their availability depends on various factors, such as but not limited to, existing contractual conditions with
clients, and the profitability of the business.

Work Description. Your specific job description and duties and responsibilities will be discussed by your Immediate Superior and
will be made an integral part of this Agreement.

In addition, you shall perform such other work related to your functions, and such additional work as may be required by the
Company from time to time.

Work Hours. You will work a nine (9) hour shift, which shall be designated accordingly, inclusive of time for breaks and a
customary meal, with two (2) rest days in a week. Overtime and emergency shifts during emergencies and for urgent matters may
be required.

Work schedule shall be determined by the Company and may be subject to change as the exigencies of the business may
require. Scheduled work hours shall not be construed as a guarantee of work and may be increased or reduced for valid business
reasons. At all times, the Company shall observe the requirements of law in scheduling work hours.

Company Rules and Regulations. You agree to abide by all the Company’s rules, regulations, policies, and the Code of
Discipline, the provisions of which are made integral parts of this Agreement, and a copy of which you hereby acknowledge
having received. You also agree to comply with such other rules, regulations and policies that have been issued, or shall be
issued, by the Company, including verbal instructions by superiors, which shall be your duty to know immediately upon
employment.

Should you fail to abide by any such rules, regulations, and policies, you may be subjected to the appropriate disciplinary
measures.

effective date of your resignation so as not to jeopardize the Company’s operations. Failure to serve written notice as required

decide whether to relieve you of this obligation. If you tender a resignation notice but fail to observe the required notice period

employment, and a violation of this Agreement.

have owed the Company in the course of your employment, as well as any liquidated damages that may be due from you in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement.

The Company reserves its right to file the necessary action against you to recover the balance of any amount or damages still
due, should there be any.

You hereby expressly agree that, upon severance of your employment for any reason, you shall comply with the Company’s exit
and clearance procedures, sign all documents necessary to conclude your work and accountabilities, and return all Company
property to the Company’s duly authorized representative/s. The Company will release the net final pay due you after application

qualifications and credentials, your non-disclosure of your contractual restrictions or health limitations, or your failure to report for

that conflict with your obligations to the Company. Similarly, you agree not to bring any third-party confidential information,
including that of your former employer, to the Company, and that in performing your duties for the Company, you will not in any
way utilize any such information.

Non-Waiver.

The failure of the Company at any time to demand performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect its right
thereafter to enforce such provision nor shall the waiver by the Company of any breach of any provision in this Contract be taken
to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.

Entire Agreement. It is expressly agreed and understood that there are no other written or verbal agreements or understandings
between you and the Company affecting this agreement, aside from those contained in this contract, and that no alterations or
variations of the terms hereof shall be binding upon either party to this agreement unless the same are reduced in writing and
signed by you and the Company. We welcome you and trust your association with us will be mutually beneficial.
