The Offlce invariabl-y gave the oplnion that the determlning factor ls the prtnclpal firnctlon of the enterprlse and not its secondary or lncidentaL task.

Asi're fron problens arising fron the lntorpretation of the specifi c provlsions of the 1av itselfe the llage A&ninl stratl on Servlce is also confronted with problems roquiTLng the interpretation of other leglslations rel-ated with the Minirnun Wage Law. !'or e:{anpl-e, a dlsr,dssecl ernpl-oye e comes to the Wage Administration Servi ce to clain for his one-month rrscparation payrr. Under the oLd Clvil Codc, srch a disnrisscd enplcyee is entitl-ed to a separatlon pay equlvalent to one nonth salary. However, this provision has been repeal-ed by the Ncv Clvll Code, according to the opLnlon rendcred by the Secretary of Justice on Junc 2, 195L. As a rnatter of pol-lcy, the trIage Adninistration Service rofers cases of thls naturo to the eonciliation seyvico of tbe Departrlent of Labor and entertalns onLy casos ln which the claln for rr.isni ssal- pay is based upon a co1lective bargalnlng agreement or court axrard. Undelthc New CLvl1 Code, a dotrestlc servant ls entitled to additlonal coripensation after 10 hours of work. Hc,r^revex, urlder the Elght-Hour labor Law which was enacted prlor to the New Civil Coilet a donesti c servant is exenpted, henceg not entitleci to overt Lrne compensation. Beceuse the NewCivll Code is a l-ater legislatlonr" the Serrd ce proceeds, as a n€tter of practice, to entertain tbe claLro of the dornesti e servant. The operatlon of r.rageboards was not wlthout legal- dlfflcultie s. D:ring the hearing of the wago board fcr the bus transportatlon 1ndustry, the foL1-ovlng question popped up: l&y a wage board be ap pointed upon petition of a singl-e e stabll shnent o? flrn? This que stlon was resolved in the negatLve. The Wage A&ninistratlon Servlc€, which was calIed upon to nake a rull-ng on the natter, decided that tho creation of a vage board for a singl-e establlslment ts not C Oll- . slstent vlth tbe wage boarcl systen which safe6lrards agalnst the grantlng of undue conpetl"tlve advantago to a single flrn o*' a g"orp of flrns. This questlon was asked during the neetins of the uaao board for the pl-y,rood and venoor lnciustrys l4ay a tir:re-exbension wage boartl flx a schedule of palrlent of the mininrun nage for an lndustry on tho basis of graduated uage rates? This r,ras resolved ln the affllrrnatLve. There are nany other lega1 questlons thBt have arj.sen duriag tho iluost tr.ro years of op€Tation of the lar,r, but the above are abort the nost lnportant and the nost worthy of mentlon in thls Annual Roport.

EDUCI\T]O}.IAL CAMPAIGN

The current informatlonal drLve Larurched by the l"lage Jl&nlnistratlon ServLce is preeise}y dlrectecl against those who rrhave seen f5.t to range themselves agalnst the ladt and against those vho have exFnessed thelr tleslre to conply wlth the law but who are unacqualnted ol rnisinfo:nued abort the 1aw. In fact, even among the enforcement pereonnel as ve1I anrongthose entrusted wtth thc proseortion of offenders of the Iar,r there prevall sornernlsconception on the measure. The earnpalgrrthat was started in 1951 to cllsseminate inforrnation about the Minlrnurn Wage Law or to make the pub1lc becorne aware of the e:dstenco and benefits of the 1aw uas resumed In A952.

XFIECTS OF THE LAW OBSERVI1TION Oli THE ECOIVO,IIC An aco:rate measure of the effect of the minlrnr.nnwage 1aw to the vhole Phj.llppine econon]r is extremely iliffioilt to ruake. For exe"npl-e, lt ls dlfflcult to deterr:rine to what ertent prlce 1eve1s, enplc'ymentt producti-on and other econotric facr.rage i.ncreabes, labor efflciency, tor.s have been effccted by the institution of the rnlnjmurn wage 1aw for the siraple reason that there are nany other factors which lndlvidluaLly o:: l"n theLr lnterpJ-ay refloct upon the natl-ona1 economy. The enernles of the minirun rrage lar or those rrho Lre engagecl ln maklng observatlons on the effects of new l-egislation based on tholr lnrnedlate effects, bellevo that the rninirm:mwage law has given rise to nore unemploylent.

For ln adclltion to other economl.o factors that nay affect btrsiness suocesses or faLlures, the nlnlnr:n wage lar,, happeneil to have coincided rdth the import and exchange controls whlch resulted in increaseil cost of production or p?lces of comoditles being imported ocresi.oaln6 business difftculties.

Although only rrith a handful of personnel quel-ifled to do the job, several tochnioal studies the Wage Administration Service initiated during the last year. These studies ltere necessery in vieu of the broad coverage of the 1aw. The law applios not onLy to tine-workers but also to workers paid on a tttask, pj-ocor c oirlis s ion bs,sisr or other nothod of calculating wages. rr l^Ilth respect t,o piccework, Scction 3 (h) of the 1aw provides that the Secrotary of fu,bor shrll, on pctition of an intercsted perty, uso to deterninc Lthether the work al-L avail-able devices of investigation is boing compensaied in corrpliance r,rith tho law, In fact, even uiththe Servlce has found it nec.-ssary to conout any party petitioning, duct such investigation in ordor to deternine complianco with the lai,t. Under Sectlon 6, Chapter III cf tho Rul-es and Regulations inplenenting the law, the eniployer shall- pay the deficiency if the total dally earnings of enployecs uorking on piecewcrk, contractr pakiao, task or corrnissl"on basis fal-l below the applicablo statutory niniJrun $ages. The wage received by the enployee as this appears in thc payroLl does not by itsel-f indicate whether the eraploycr has conplied with tho 1aw or not. Noither does a given piece-rate or c o![Iij-ssion Most f the industrics enploying piecoworkers aprate indicate this. pj.ece-rato. give However, a chcck on the actual prohigh a ,palently duction revealed the vorker has not reccived the statutory nininur wage fox ei-ght hoursr work. It is fo" this reason:lthat the following technical studies were nad.o. 1.

Aside fron knowing whether tho prevail,ing piece-retes were yiolding to the workers the rninj.lutn llagc, the other object of the study was to deternine what ploce-rate would conform to the prwisions of the law. The cigar and clgarette nanufacturirlE industry $as particulorl"y chogen to be the subject of piecc-rate study because of its relative importance to the donestic econorry, the fact that rqost of the workers in this industry are paid on a piece-ratc basis, ond the coni/enience of location of c igar and cigarette faci:ories, nost of then being 1ocated in and around the }4anila area.

The Offlce lnvarlably gave the oplnlon that the determlning faetor l-s the prlnclpal f\mctlon of the eaterprlse and not its secondayy or lncidental task. Asi"ae fror problens arising from the lntorpretation of the speoifl c pro(rl sions of the la ltself, the Wage A&nini stratlon ServLce ls also confronted with problems requirtng the thterprotatlon of other legLslations related with the Minlrna:r Wage lev. For dcanpl-e, a dis:f ssecl ernployoe ccr0€s to the Wage AdmLnlstratlon Servl ce to claim for his one-rnonth rtseparation payl. Under the old Clvl-1-Code, such a clismisscd enployee is entitLed to a eeparation pay equlvaient to one ncnth salary. However, thls provlsion has been repeal-ed by the Now Ciull Code, aecordihg to the opinlon rendered by the Secretary of Justice on Jxrne 2, 195I. As a rratter of pollcy, the Wage Adnini stration Service refers cases of thls nature to the eonciliation soruice of tbe Departnent of tabor and enterbains onl-y cases in vhich the cl-alfn for dlsmissal- pay ls based upon a, co1Loetive bargaining agreenent or court avard.. Under thc New Clvll" Llode, a donestlc servant ls entltled to additionaL compensatlon afLer 10 hours of work. Holever, under the Elght-Hour' Iobor law which uas enacted priox to the New 01vi1 Codlel a donestL d servant is exernpted, hencca not €ntitl-ed to overtfune conr-,. pensailon. Because the NewCivll Codo ls a later Leglslatlon, the Servl ce proceeds, as a rlatter of practice, to entertain the claln of the dcn:re st'i e servant . The operatLon of uage boards rras not vlthout 1ega1 dlfYlcultles. D'uring the hearLng of rihe wage board for tlre bus transportatlon 1ndustryr.the fo1l-or,rlng question popped up! l4ay a wage board be appolnted upan poti bion of a slng1e e stabll shrxent or f,lfln? This que stLon was resolvcd in the negative. The tJage A&linistratlon Servlcoe whlch was cal-Ied upon to nake e rul-Lng on the nattoll declded that the creatLon of :. vage board for a sing16 e stabll shment Ls not consLstent wLth the wage boar.l systen which safeguards agalnst the grantlng of undue conpetitive advantage to a singl-e flr:"r cn a g"orp of f1:ns.
