00:00The calls, emails, and other messages outside their work hours
00:04may not be answered by the employees in Australia
00:07because of their right to disconnect law.
00:10And there are also laws that are being violated here in the Philippines.
00:15Witnesses, Jimmy Santos.
00:20It's lucky if Anna Rose won't be able to receive a work-related inquiry
00:25even if her work hours are over.
00:27She can't avoid being asked questions that are related to her work.
00:33It's good if, after work,
00:35people like her who are employed at work are first disconnected.
00:38Of course, it's time to rest, right?
00:41The mind should also rest.
00:42Once in Australia,
00:45the right to disconnect law was enforced for the employees.
00:49They may not be able to answer the calls,
00:52emails, and messages of the office after their working hours.
00:57Here in the Philippines,
00:58there are also laws that are being violated, like this one.
01:01In Camara, there is House Bill 9735
01:05that requires the application of Presidential Decree No. 442, or the Labor Code,
01:09to give the right to employees not to answer work-related concerns
01:15if their work hours are over.
01:17In the Senate, there is the Workers' Rest Law or Senate Bill 2475.
01:22Under this,
01:24the employer, manager, supervisor, or any official of the company
01:29is prohibited from employing workers who are on day-off or rest hours.
01:34Aside from emergencies,
01:36workers are allowed overtime pay.
01:39But according to the Employers' Confederation of the Philippines,
01:42this law is not applicable in our country.
01:46That's a very unreasonable law that doesn't apply in the Philippines.
01:51In the Senate of the Philippines,
01:54there are even times that if there is a problem,
01:57you don't call them because you're angry.
02:00That's why they were not contacted.
02:01According to the employee, Renz,
02:03in the police of their company that has no calls and emails after work,
02:08he enjoys the work-life balance
02:10even though there is no law that requires it.
02:13It's much better because, of course,
02:15it's a work-life balance.
02:17So, of course, it's your time with your family when you're at home.
02:21Then, so that you can focus more on your work
02:24when you're at your workplace,
02:27then you can focus on your emails, calls, and whatsoever.
02:30For GMA Integrated News,
02:32Jamie Santos is your witness.
