| '''Fixed Wage'''

| Bus companies are given up to July to fully comply with the government’s new fixed wage system for the bus industry, the Department of Labor and Employment said Friday. Citing Department Order no. 118-12, National Wages and Productivity Commission (NWPC) Deputy Executive Director Patricia Hornilla said in an interview that bus companies will be given a six-month lee way before they will be required to comply with the fixed wage scheme. Until the given deadline, she said companies could continue using their current wage-scheme in paying their driver and conductors, but with the additional wage provision of the labor code.
