I think the proposed 4-day workweek is not healthy for both, worker and employer. The 5-day workweek will do just fine in my opinion.

In away, advantageous ang work-at-home setup, you can joggle two or three jobs in a day -- given na wala kai girlfriend and familyman naka -- unlike in an office setup. However, ang disadvantage pud, makalimot naka ug personal hygiene, monitored naka all the time, and dali nalang ka e.evaluate whether performing and underperforming ka sa imo trabaho.

In addition, makafeel ka na lisod ang work-at-home setup kun mawala imo internet bisag isa ka adlaw -- unsaon nalang kung isa ka semana mawala -- dunai rason ang company na dli ka bayaran for that day.

DOLE open to proposal for 4-day workweek


Citing the rise in the number of "virtual offices" or remote work environment because of the Internet, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said it is open to a proposed measure compressing the work week to four 10-hour days.

In an interview over radio dwIZ on Monday, DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said, "Meron tayong pagkilala iba ang sitwasyon ng world of work ngayon at pwede tayo magtrabaho di kailangan physically sa opisina."

She said the Philippines already had a four-day workweek in the past during the global financial crisis.

"Kung yan gagawing compulsory sa pamamagitan ng batas, meron na tayong experience diyan. Ang dahilan nakakatipid sa pamasahe tapos sa kuryente sa pagawaan at may flexibility sa pagpili ng araw," she said.

However, she said if a four-day workweek will be implemented, the scheme should be approved by both the employers and the employees.

"Basta may kasunduan at nagkakaintindihan ang workers at employers they can set up ganitong kaluwagan o flexibility," she said.

Baldoz said DOLE already issued an advisory on flexible work arrangements in 2010.

The advisory provides for three flexible work arrangements which employers and employees may consider, including compressed workweek, gliding on flexi-time schedule, and flexi-holidays schedule.

“For pregnant women and nursing mothers, they may be allowed to work during nighttime, but a competent physician other that a company doctor shall certify to their fitness to render nightwork. In the case of pregnant workers, the physician shall also specify the period that they can safely work," Baldoz had said in the advisory.

(If it will become compulsory via a law, we already have experience undergoing a four-day work week)," she said.

"Yan sa mga tinatawag na staff functions, yan lalo kung naka-Internet ay pwedeng gawin. Ang frontline offices na hindi kaya talagang fully automated pa, talagang dapat may mga tao doon," Baldoz said.

"But ganoon talagang pwede gawin na, virtual offices dahil di naman kailangan physically naroon ka sa trabaho, lalo kung may kinalaman sa technical papers, research, pwede gawin sa bahay o Starbucks, kung saan-saan," she said.

Proposal for four-day workweek

Earlier, Quezon City Rep. Winston Castelo proposed a four-day work week to cut expenditures for both employers and workers.

Under his proposal, workers will still allot 40 hours of work for each week, logging in 10 instead of eight hours from Monday to Thursday.

In June 2008, the National Economic Development Authority started studying the proposal of the Department of Budget and Management to implement the four-day work scheme for government offices to cut on costs.

Baldoz also said businesses had been receptive to such a four-day work week, noting some of them had even sought the compressed work week.

Murag daghan ang disadvantage sa employers side kay dili sab tingali lalim
mag usab sa na andan nga system.
Sa employees side advantage ni sa mga pamilyado kay maka spend og dako nga time
sa ilang pamilya or if kadto mga single naay daghan oras isuroy but gasto na sab
labi na if dili kahibaw mo budget
