Payment by Results
(a) The Secretary of Labor and Employment shall regulate the payment of wages by results, including pakyao, piecework, and other non-time work, in order to ensure the payment of fair and reasonable wage rates, preferably through time and motion studies or in consultation with representatives of workers’ and employers’ organizations.
See Book III, Rule VII, Chapter I, Section 9 of the Omnibus Rules Implementing the Labor Code, which provides that all workers paid by results shall receive not less than the applicable statutory minimum wage rates “for the normal working hours which shall not exceed eight hours work a day, or a proportion thereof for work of less than the normal working hours” and further outlines the steps in the computation of the “adjusted minimum wage rates for workers paid by results.”
