Study Notes
Learners
- Definition: Learners are trainees in non-apprenticeable, semi-skilled or other industrial occupations, trained on the job for a maximum of three months.
- Eligibility Conditions: Learners can be hired if experienced workers aren't available, preventing job losses, and if their employment doesn't create unfair competition or lower standards.
-
Agreements: A learnership agreement is mandatory, outlining:
- Learner details (name, address)
- Training duration (maximum 3 months)
- Wages (minimum 75% of applicable minimum wage)
- Regular employment commitment (upon successful completion) -Automatic regular employment if training is terminated by the employer within two months, with no fault of the learner.
- Inspection: Agreements are subject to Labor Secretary or representative inspection.
- Piecework: Learners in piecework are paid fully for their work.
- Penalties: Violations are subject to general penalties.
Handicapped Workers
- Definition: Handicapped workers are those with impaired earning capacity due to age, physical or mental deficiency, or injury.
- Eligibility Conditions: Employment is allowed if it doesn't cause job losses, unfair competition, or lower standards.
-
Agreements: Similar to learners, employment agreements are required, encompassing:
- Worker details (name, address)
- Wages (minimum 75% of applicable minimum wage)
- Employment duration
- Work duties
- Inspection: Agreements are subject to Labor Secretary or representative inspection.
- Apprenticeship Eligibility: Handicapped workers may be apprentices or learners, if their condition doesn't hinder job performance. This is further clarified by R.A. No. 7277, which emphasizes eligibility for disabled persons, but performance must not be hampered, and they are eligible for employment after satisfactory apprenticeship.
