Unemployed and Seeking for my Right as an Employee

          After my practice teaching and final demo teaching I'm back to reality- being unemployed, jobless and unproductive, the kind of feeling I really hate. Today, I was recalling some of the events I had in the company for the last two months because one of my officemate texted me to go to our office to claim the completion of my 2016 salary but she mentioned again to bring my resignation letter.
        
         While I was on leave for one & half month my officemate texted me that the company stops its production last Feb 28 & it will be officially close on March 30.  They had given me my partial 2016 salary of 10k last January and 20k last February that's why I was able to concentrate on my practice teaching without thinking of the expenses on both school & family needs. I was able to settle some of my credit card dues and save a little bit of it.

          The last time I went to our office was last February when they gave me a 20k partial 2016 salary and my boss required me to submit a resignation letter and I asked him--Sir, is it necessary?...and he answered, yes it is a requirement in SSS. Then I told him, I'll just bring it next week and he replied again, he needed it and told me that there is a draft resignation letter in the computer that I can use. I told my officemate not to bother I'll just bring it.

         That day I went to SSS office near our place and made an inquiry and they inform me that resignation is not needed- a "no earning report" is required if an employee is onleave without pay. They told me I can file a complain if I want to but I told them its not necessary because the company settlement is on process as far as I know.

        I still don't plan to give them my resignation next week and right now I am trying to figure out my reasons for not tendering my resignation if they insist. I know the rules of closure of company and the benefits of the employees but it's not the main reason why I do not want to resign. I know that our SSS & Pag-ibig contribution & loans are not yet settled and its the main reason why I am not filing a resignation. Although I trust his words that he will settle it after they sold their house and lot still I do not trust the circumstances that might happen in the future.

        I know "mabait ako or tanga ako" because no complaints or inquiry were made during those times that they ignore their responsibility to their employees. From what I heard, its somewhere between 2012 or 2014 that they stopped their contributions and loan payments of their employees. I understand their situation but they cannot force me to resign until everything is settled, di ba?

         There's this saying that I read in FB, "Love your job and but don't love your company because you may not know when the company stops loving you." True enough, I have given my heart in that company but now it seems that they do not care at all and they are not being totally honest with me.
          Kndly share if you have suggestions about my situation or if you have the same problem or experience as well.


 Have a great day ahead!
God Bless Everyone.

  1. Awww, I can feel you since nasa financial crisis na rin yung company na pinapasukan ko now pero di ako magreresign kasi gusto ko na bayaran nila ako. Malaki kasi ang separation pay na makukuha ko at tax free pa yun! I'll keep in mind yung inspirational quotes na binigay mo dito. Makakaya natin lagpasan tong mga pagsubok na 'to para sa financial freedom. Powerrr! Hehe.

    1. Actually, hindi na yung separation pay ang priority kong mahabol sa kanila - yung SSS, Pagibig at Philhealth ang gusto ko maayos nila. Alam ko me problemang pinansyal sila ang naiinis ako kailangan pa nila magsinungaling sa akin sa paghingi ng resignation ko. Sinabi ko na sa kanila na ayusin muna nila yun bago ko maghand-over ng resignation, e hindi pa naman nila naayos.
