People work in order to get salary. Many do their best so as to be recognized and
given monetary equivalent to their hard work is an additional happiness to them.
An organization should have a clear structure on this matter. The pay given to a
worker should compensate the work load or responsibilities given to him. There should
be proportion of the salary and work load because if not, dissatisfaction comes in and if
a worker is not satisfied, output of his work is affected.
An employee compensation has to pass through a job analyst because there are
a lot of things to consider in giving the right compensation to a worker. The nature of the
work should be given consideration because this matters a lot. If an employee is
exposed to hazardous chemical, a higher compensation is given to him than a person in
a good environment. This is an example of what I said that the working condition should
be considered.
Aside from that, a salary increase is always expected to be given, This is to cope
with the changing economic demand. Increases may vary on every organization. Before
agreeing on the increase, the income also of the organization has to be considered.
Employees cannot demand for an increase that is higher from the income of the
organization or else the organization will collapse.
Aside from salary increases, employees’ benefit/s is also needed to be given to
the employees. It is the right of the employees to be given this. There are benefits that
an employee may receive that are mandated by labor law. Example of these are,
maternity leave/ sick leave, vacation leave, emergency leave, 13th month and others.
There are companies that give benefits beyond what the labor law mandates like bonus,
travel and others.
Assistance also to the employees should be given by an organization. In case of
emergency, the employee should have a program on how to help their employees.
Not following what the law requires regarding these matters can be basis for
closure of the organization.

Unionization and labor action have dwindled. According to the Bureau of Labor
and Employment Statistics, one of the department bureaus of the Department of Labor
and Employment or DOLE.
These two entities should work harmoniously. On the part of the workers, having
a union would guard them on the mistreatment and malpractices of some company
owners. With the presence of union in their workplace, they will be supported by the
labor in cases as these. Unionization aims to unite the workers on their stand and
whatever action they will do should always be for the good of both the management and
the union members.
For me, there is nothing wrong with having a union in an organization, as long as
they will always communicate properly to the management. Aside from that, an open
heart should also take place. They should know how to balance their demands to the
situation of the organization. Understanding in both sides is the key to harmonious
relationship of the employee and labor union members.
Labor will protect the rights of the workers. The purpose is to guide the employee
on how they should deal with their employees and to consider always the welfare of the
workers. Just and fair dealings is what the employee should always remember.
Sometimes, having a union is being abused. There are a lot of union groups that
will not consider the side of the employee thus may result to closer of the organization.
At the end, still the workers are left helpless because there will be no more work.
Therefore, whatever decision these two will do, a time to talk and agree halfway that will
benefit both the employee and the employees for a good relationship.
