BIT ET 3-6

MIDTERM

1. QUALITY OF WORKS Tell me about a time when you had too much to do, but not enough resources,
how did you handle the pressure? What is the outcome when you do an extra mile of works?

There is a time during my Japanese class this semester, I was really pressured and need to do extra mile
for me to pass the midterm. I only have little time to study because I need to work for the expenses of
my education but how do I handle the pressure? In order for me to handle the pressure during the exam
day I always put in my mind that I need to manage my expectations, I should not expect that I got higher
grades. Second, I need to be positive, trying to motivate myself that I’ll pass the exam. Third, I must
study even though the resources were not appropriate with my study techniques and habits. Lastly, I
need to trust and believe God that I can do it and pass the exam. The outcome after I did extra mile of
the efforts that I did is that I passed. Really thankful also with my dearest classmates who help me in
pushing things that made me pressured. They were the people who motivates and reminding me that I
must and do it.

1.
Rights of the Worker & Payment of Wages

The Bureau of Working Conditions, a staff department of the Department of Labor and Employment, compiled
a list of Basic Rights that every worker is entitled to. These rights ensure the safety and health of all workers.

The State shall protect labor, promote full employment, provide equal work opportunity regardless of gender,
race, or creed; and regulate relations between employees and employers.

Every employee shall be assured security of tenure. No employee can be dismissed from work except for a just
or authorized cause, and only after due process.

Just cause refers to any wrongdoing committed by an employee; authorized cause refers to economic
circumstances that are not the employee’s fault.

An employee must be paid their wages for all hours worked. If their work hours fall between 10:00 p.m. and
6:00 a.m., they are entitled to night shift pay in addition to their pay for regular work hours. If they work over
eight hours a day, they are entitled to overtime pay.

A day-off of 24 consecutive hours after six (6) days of work should be scheduled by the employer upon
consultation with the workers.

Wage is the amount paid to an employee in exchange for to the service that they rendered to their employer.
Wage may be fixed for a given period.

Wages should be paid directly to the employee in cash, legal tender, or through a bank.
Wages shall be given not less than once every two weeks or twice within a month at intervals not exceeding 16
days.

Women are prohibited from engaging in night work unless the work is allowed by the following rules: industrial
undertakings from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., commercial/non-industrial undertakings from 12 m.n. to 6 a.m., or
agricultural takings at night provided that she has had nine consecutive hours of rest.

Welfare facilities, such as separate dressing rooms and lavatories, must be installed at the workplace.

The minimum employment age is 15 years of age. Any worker below 15 years of age should be directly under
the sole responsibility of parents or guardians provided that work does not interfere with the child’s schooling
or development.

The minimum age of employment is 18 years for hazardous jobs, and 15 years for non-hazardous jobs.
Hazardous jobs are

Employers must provide workers with every kind of on-the-job protection against injury, sickness or death
through safe and healthful working conditions.

Every worker has the right to self-organization, i.e., to form or to join any legitimate workers’ union, free from
interference of their employer or the government. All workers may join a union for the purpose of collective
bargaining and is eligible for union membership on the first day of their employment.

- Can my family afford to live on a small payment of wages?

No, my family can’t afford to live on a small payment of wages why? Because today’s prices of human needs
and expenses really increased. In order for us to live we must seek public assistance and/or hold multiple jobs in
order to afford to feed, clothe, house, and provide medical care for ourselves and my families.
2. What is a Decision-Making Process? Give the 7 steps to effective Decision-Making Process Show that
you have a system for reaching the Right Decision?

- Decision making is the process of making choices by identifying a decision, gathering information, and
assessing alternative resolutions. Using a step-by-step decision-making process can help you make more
deliberate, thoughtful decisions by organizing relevant information and defining alternatives.
 7 Steps to effective Decision- Making Process
Step 1: Identify the decision. You realize that you need to make a decision.
Step 2: Gather relevant information.
Step 3: Identify the alternatives.
Step 4: Weigh the evidence.
Step 5: Choose among alternatives.
Step 6: Take action.
Step 7: Review your decision & its consequences.

My system in reaching the Right Decision is “Stop, Think, Seek Advice, Decide”. It may take many people to
realize that the decisions they make today could possibly affect the outcome tomorrow and even later in life.
When we are children, our parents and guardians are responsible for properly guiding us to make the right choices,
they are the people who are supposed to teach us right from wrong and in most cases they are the people who
reveals the many harsh realities of the world to us.
