plz..give me advice..wlang katiyakan na extension

hi danisco and to all readers,

just talked labor office representative this afternoon... tinawagan ko para maclarify itong issue na ito kasi nakakalito nga... baka hindi uniform ang implementation ng different local labor offices... below is their answer...

Rationalization of application period for reemployment (Effective April 12, 2010, according to Article 14(2) of the enforcement regulation of the said law)

- In order for an employer to re-employ a foreign worker, the employer have to apply for it 45 or 15 days before the termination of first 3 year sojourn period.

Examples of how to apply the reemployment application period:

1) Applying for reemployment before 15 days of the termination of first 3 year sojourn period...

- An employer has to apply for reemployment before 15 days of the termination of first 3 year sojourn period, when his/her worker has worked for at least 3 months as of the completion date (Ex. In cased of a worker whose first 3 year sojourn completion date is June 15,2010, when he/she started his/her work before March 15, 2010)

-> Sa madaling salita, if ikaw po ay nakapagtrabaho ng company more than 3-months, pwede ka pa i-process ng reemployment (1-yr & 10-mos) kahit 15-days nalang bago magend ang 3-yrs mo dito sa Korea... (or from 90-days to 15-days)

2) Applying for reemployment before 45 days of the termination of first 3 year sojourn period...

- An employer has to apply for reemployment of his/her worker before 45 days of first 3 year sojourn period, if his/her worker has worked for less than 3 months as of the completion date. (Ex. In cased of a worker whose first 3 year sojourn completion date is June 15,2010, when he/she started his/her work from March 15,2010)

-> Sa madaling salita, if ikaw po ay nakapagtrabaho ng company less than 3-months, dapat mai-process ka na ng reemployment (1-yr & 10-mos) before 45-days bago magend ang 3-yrs mo dito sa Korea... (or from 90-days to 45-days)

CONCLUSION: EFFECTIVE APRIL 12, IF IN CASE YUNG CURRENT EMPLOYER NINYO AY WALANG BALAK MAGRE-EMPLOY SA INYO, DAPAT MAGPAPARELEASE NA KAYO 4-MONTHS BEFORE END OF YOUR FIRST 3-YRS VISA PARA MAY CHANGE PA KAYONG MAKAHANAP NG EMPLOYER NA PWEDENG MAGRERE-EMPLOY SA INYO...

YUNG 45-DAYS NALANG NATITIRA SA VISA, MALABO NA PO NA MARE-EMPLOY NG BAGONG EMPLOYER KAYA HUWAG NALANG MAGPAPARELEASE...

HOPE THIS WILL HELP SA NAKAKARAMI...

hi allon,

this is my opinion and advice about sa friend ng kasama mo...

if ayaw siyang i-reemploy tapos ayaw din i-release, malabo po na makakavail siya ng another 1-yr and 10-mos sojourn...

pero meron siyang 2 little chances na pwedeng gawin...

1) kung merong violation ang current employer niya related sa salary or any labor law violations, pwede siyang magfile ng petition sa labor office at gawing dahilan na magpaparelease siya pero kelangan na as soon possible gawin nya kasi wala na siyang time... July matatapos ang sojourn niya di ba? sa current policy kasi, dapat maiprocess na ng employer ang reemployment ng isang EPS worker 90 ~ 45 days bago mag-end ang 3-yrs if the worker has only working in the company for less than 3-months... so considering irelease siya at makakita ng new employer pero im sure less than 3-months na yan before end of his 3-yrs... so need po ihabol ang reemployment application niya before 45-days...

2) 2nd option, makiusap nalang siya sa amo niya na i-reemploy siya tapos irelease after 1month... kahit sabihin nya na walang salary for 1-month basta maiprocess lang siya ng employer nya... or its up to him kung paano siya dumiskarte sa amo niya...

mukhang mahirap po pero kung willing talaga siyang magstay pa sa korea legally then he should exert more effortfor his reemployment...

hope my answer would help...
