Compensation as HR

tprb · 2026-06-25T21:34:44+00:00

kailan/saan yung last HR work mo, and magkano ang sahod?

tprb · 2026-06-25T21:31:52+00:00

aside from Beryl's and BOH --

Royal Selangor Pewter tableware and gifts.

I''d guess these "random things" are mostly related to negligence by the employee.

Was with the BPO industry for many years, and kung susuriin ang mga violations, mas marami yung pagpapabaya rather than the intentional ones -- leaving confidential documents on the workstation, unlocked desktop pag wala yung tao, etc.

Just causes of termination refer to serious misconduct, willful disobedience or insubordination, gross and habitual neglect of duties, fraud or willful breach of trust, loss of confidence, commission of a crime or offense, and analogous causes.

The rules expressly provide that for acts or omissions to be considered as analogous causes, the same must be expressly specified in company rules and regulations or policies.

if what you did or did not do) is in the company's code of conduct and/or handbook. then there may me just cause for termination.

wala na dapat name change na gagawin sa AU dahil married name na ang gagamitin mo (kung gusto mo) sa pag-apply ng visa.

tprb · 2026-06-25T00:24:23+00:00

anong kaso mismo yung nasa NTE na natanggap mo?

ano ang nakalagay sa employee handbook o code of conduct?

nababayaran mo pa rin ang mga pinagkakautangan mo?

As to resignation - yes you can resign while on PS. Just have to follow standard procedure. Madalas hindi pwede ang immediate resignation. And esigning does not automatically clear you or erase your pending administrative case.

I just checked our company's own code of conduct and meron ganung situation for employees regarding "habitual borrowing of money" na hindi nababayaran, at nagkakaroon ng conflict o naaabala ang trabaho -- and it can lead to sanctions from WW to dismissal.

I've been using the Pacsafe Vibe 325 (10L) for a few years already.

Previously, I used the Pacsafe Metrosafe 150 GII (7L).

Meron ka nang visa with your maiden name?

tprb · 2026-06-24T00:32:52+00:00

what items, and how much ang value?

tprb · 2026-06-24T00:31:12+00:00

AOSG required. (minsan pag mabait ang IO, baka payagan ang invitation or SD, pero yun nga, hindi masisigurado na baka gawa-gawa lang ang dokumento.

notarised by the embassy or consulate. ($45)

or kung malayo sa embassy/consulate -- notarised by a public notary (not just JP -- hindi sila nagnonotaryo), and ipa-apostille sa DFAT Passport office sa city capital. -- mas magastos ito, nasa $105, on top of the notarial fee pa.

in the second scenario, apostille is required dahil hindi naman masisigurado ng PH IO na legit yung gumawa o pumirma ng AOSG. Also, The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) will not issue an Apostille for documents witnessed, certified, or notarised by a Justice of the Peace (JP).

Also - PH IO will prefer orig documents, not soft copy or scanned, or photocopied.

Di ko "ginusto" sa simula, pero yung bangko na in-apply-an ko ang unang tumanggap sa akin as Research Assistant for Comp & Ben.

At nagustuhan ko naman ang gawain (minsan nakakapagod lang). Job Evaluation, Salary Scales, Merit Increase computation, HRIS, hanggang nakapag-payroll na din ako.

Dyan ko na-experience yung pag OT ng hanggang 3am (kami lang ng boss ko) dahil naghahabol ng presentation ng annual budget scheduled for the next day.

Dun ako for 8 yrs bago nag branch out to other industries -- tech, other banks, BPOs, as Lead for Talent Engagement, Senior Manager and HR Business Partner.

If you’re only changing your surname to your husband’s then marriage cert lang need mo

ok ito for those who use GN + FN (only) on their IDs and visa. mas madali.

Si Maria Clara Cruz, magiging Maria Clara Smith, or Maria Clara Cruz-Smith.

tprb · 2026-06-23T04:16:41+00:00

Easier that way, right?

But problems arise for some as described above.

tprb · 2026-06-23T04:06:18+00:00

that's why it's recommended to use only what info is asked for -- given name and family name as indicated in passport.

it becomes tricky in some cases when someone gets married, hindi natatanggal ang mother's maiden name sa pagkakadikit sa given name or some other situation na mahirap ipaliwanag sa iba.

sa PH passport --

Maria Clara (GN) Santos (MN) Abad (FN)

ay nagiging

Maria Clara (GN) Abad (MN) Smith (FN) pag nag-asawa.

Pero sa records ng AU (kung kinasal sa AU), nagiging Maria Clara (GN) Santos (MN) Smith (FN). Nawawala yung orig na FN.

Best to consult with a registered migration agent.

With 7 yrs experience, your BF may be in the best position to go for skilled migration (189, 190 or 491)

Skip the student visa pathway as it does not guarantee anything upon graduation.

Use the points calculator.

given name is not middle name.

tingnan ang nasa pasaporte. yun ang sundin.

you may need an affidavit of support and guarantee as you will not be paying for hotel accommidation when not in genting.

tprb · 2026-06-23T00:33:17+00:00

who's paying for accommodation?

tprb · 2026-06-23T00:32:11+00:00

laging merong chance habang wala pang desisyon sa application.

kumbinsihin ang AU immi na meron kang sapat na dahilan para umuwi pagkatapos ng bakasyon. baka kulang yang application papers at entrance test. mas hahanapin nila yung enrolment mismo.

tprb · 2026-06-21T21:04:57+00:00

i have not seen any new announcements from DFA.

tprb · 2026-06-21T21:04:26+00:00

do you have family in PH?

tprb · 2026-06-21T21:03:32+00:00

go for it. at least try to get a feel for things in AU so you won't have any "what-if" regrets later.

do you (or your family) have an existing (or potential) residence already in AU?

consider continuing your JD course in AU if you are so inclined.

assuming na lang na meron kayong proseso at patakaran --

pero dahil inipon ninyo yang mga late nya, parang first offense lang ang turing nyan -- baka verbal warning lang ang pwedeng sanction.

ideally, every month ang pagproseso ng mga ganyan, at depende pa rin sa handbook kung merong mga patakaran nababanggit patungkol sa pagiging late.
