I. INTRODUCTION
A. BACKGROUND:
The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic is an ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The outbreak was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The World
Health Organization declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January, and a pandemic
on 11 March. As of 27 April 2020, more than 3.04 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported in 185 countries and territories,
resulting in more than 211,000 deaths. More than 894,000 people have recovered.
The virus is primarily spread between people during close contact, often via small droplets produced by coughing, sneezing, or
talking. The droplets usually fall to the ground or onto surfaces rather than remaining in the air over long distances. People may
also become infected by touching a contaminated surface and then touching their face. In experimental settings, the virus may
survive on surfaces for up to 72 hours. It is most contagious during the first three days after the onset of symptoms, although
spread may be possible before symptoms appear and in later stages of the disease.
Further, the common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, and loss of smell. Complications may
include pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The time from exposure to onset of symptoms is typically around
five days, but may range from two to fourteen days. There is no known vaccine or specific antiviral treatment. Primary treatment
is symptomatic and supportive therapy.
Last March 16, 2020, the Philippine government has issued directives that Luzon-wide including the National Capital Region
(NCR) will be under the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) and Stringent Social Distancing Measures effective March 17,
2020 originally until April 15, 2020. These measures were implemented by the Philippine government primarily to prevent further
spread of the said virus.
Moreover, the Philippine government has also declared extensions effective April 16, 2020 up to April 30, 2020, and latest was
from May 1, 2020 up to May 15, 2020, due to increasing number of infected cases as well as deaths. It has also stated that
enhanced or general community quarantine measures throughout the country will be implemented until proven
coronavirus/COVID-19 antidote and/or vaccine has put into place.

K. HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES OVERVIEW AND AB’S NEW NORMAL IN GENERAL:
All employees should be made aware that once they report for work, they should strictly follow clearance procedures as
implemented by the Health and Safety units. Orientation attendance should be well documented as basis that all concerned
were properly informed by the new sets of guidelines as well as acknowledgement to compliance.
Workers and staff will be required to follow arrangements such as: “work and staff house routine only” or “work and
barracks routine only” until further notice.
Screening days will start two (2) days before the resumption of work. Screening days or period of the Health and Safety
units are considered as unpaid hours for the workers and employees. Workers who stayed in the barracks are initial
workers to be screened accordingly. Staff are not allowed to time in without clearance from the frontliners. Allot time for
your screening process.
 “NO MASK, NO SCREENING CLEARANCE: NO ENTRY”

 PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL DISTACING - measured not less than 1 meter in between inside the
company premises and public spaces
 MANDATORY TEMPRETURE CHECKS before work entry and random checking during work
operations
 FREQUENT HAND WASHING AND SANITATION BEFORE ENTRY OF THE COMPANY FACILITIES
 PERSONS WITH ESTABLISHED SYMPTOMS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE COMPANY
PREMISES. Medical certificate will be required before resumption of work subject to company
physician’s validation
 STRICT COMPLIANCE IN THE SAFETY AND HEALTH GUIDELINES WILL BE REINFORCED
L. FLEXIBLE WORKING ARRANGEMENTS:

All staff who are authorized by their immediate and next level heads to “work-from-home” shall be required to submit daily
accomplishments as basis of their required output. Immediate heads should strictly analyze authorization before allowing the
staff in this kind of arrangement.
All project staff are not authorized to implement “work from home” arrangements, due to the nature of their work.
Flexible working arrangements to all employees will be imposed specifically following “longer working hours, lesser working
days” work schedule, completing the 48-hour work per week within the five-day work per week. This measure will time decrease
employee’s public access or contacts like transportations, common places, etc.
M. COMPANY SHUTTLE SERVICE AND ACCOMODATION

Company shuttle service and accommodation will be provided to all employees. Those who will be availing of the said services/
arrangement should directly notify the concerned department, Property Department for the accommodation and Motorpool
Department for the shuttle service. The advance notification of availment will be the basis for proper preparation and pooling (in
consideration also of the physical distancing measures) before the resumption of work. Guidelines will also be communicated by
the said departments.
N. WORKER’S RIGHT TO REFUSE TO WORK UNDER UNSAFE CIRCUMSTANCES

"The worker has the right of refusal to work without threat or reprisal from the employer if an imminent danger situation exists in
the workplace that may result in illness, injury, or death, and corrective actions to eliminate the danger have not been
undertaken by the employer." This also includes new sets of guidelines which are still considered in a trial state or period
especially upon resumption of work.

Compliance-with-Occupational-Safety-and-Health-Standards-and-Providing-Penalties-for-Violations-Thereof.pdf
Employees cannot be forced to report for work during the month-long implementation of the “enhanced” community quarantine
in Luzon due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said. “They do not have to report if
they don’t want to report. Or since they are under enhanced community quarantine, then they can really not report and they will
be excused. There will be no basis for them to be disciplined,” Bello said in a Palace press briefing late March 17, 2020.
https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1096967
After the enhanced and general community quarantine, employees and workers who refused to resume to work highlighting
their safety and other authorized reasons will not be given sanction but will be taken account against the “extra factor” on their
performance. Formal notice should be sent to the official email of the project site/department, HCES and immediate head’s
email. Absence on the said cause may be charged to the available credits. Exhaustion of leave credits will be considered as
authorized leave without pay. Since the absence of the concerned employee will greatly affect the department/project’s output, it
will be the responsibility of the immediate head to identify movements in his/her unit if the concerned employee will be replaced
temporarily or permanently. More than fourteen (14) days of leave under this category will mean reset of contract and
employment period, and “rehire” status will be subject for availability of position.
However, once declaration of normal working conditions are declared by the DOH and DOLE, all staff are expected to comply
with the usual company policies and procedures.
O. Retrenchment of Workers Due to Economic Effect of the Pandemic

Careful assessment on the retrenchment of workers/staff due to redundancy of position, lack of materials and other operational
equipment should be properly advised to the HCES Officer and Head. “Notice of Termination” following the 30-days rule shall be
given to concerned workers. Performance related and other violations of our company policy shall follow the usual twin notice
rule or due process.
 The right of management to dismiss workers on the ground of retrenchment to prevent serious losses is governed by Article 283 of the
Labor Code. This is one of the authorized causes of termination of employment. However, before one can dismiss employees on
the ground of retrenchment, four elements must be proven. Firstly, the losses expected should be substantial. Secondly, the
substantial loss apprehended must be reasonably imminent, and such imminence can be perceived objectively and in good
faith by the employer. Thirdly, because of the consequential nature of retrenchment, it must be reasonably and necessary and
likely to effectively prevent the expected losses. The employer should have taken other measures prior or parallel to
retrenchment to forestall losses such as cutting other costs other than labor cost. Lastly, the alleged losses if already realized,
and the expected imminent losses sought to be forestalled, must be proven by sufficient and convincing evidences. It bears
emphasis that serious business losses should be proven by financial statements duly audited by an independent external
auditor.
 If the grounds for retrenchment are not proved, the retrenchment will be declared illegal and of no effect. If the retrenched employee
signed quitclaims, they may be declared invalid. Even his acceptance of the retrenchment pay does not amount to estoppel which does
not bar him from contesting his separation.
 There must be fair and reasonable criteria to be used in selecting employees to be dismissed on account of retrenchment such as (a)
less preferred status (i.e. temporary employees); (b) efficiency rating; and (c) seniority. The “last in first out“(LIFO) rule indicates that as
between two or more employees affected by a retrenchment program, the last one employed will be the first to go; seniority of the ones
hired earlier therefore prevails. Such rule has its merits but its observance is not a statutory duty of the employer.
 In accordance with the Labor Code, for a valid implementation of a retrenchment program, the employer must serve written notices on
the employees and DOLE at least thirty (30) days prior to the intended date of retrenchment. Specifically, the purpose of such previous
notice to DOLE must be to enable it to ascertain the verity of the cause for termination of employment. Finally, the more important
aspect in the termination of employment is the payment of the employee’s separation pay equivalent to at least one (1) month pay or at
least one-half (1/2) month pay for every year of service, whichever is higher. A fraction of at least six (6) months shall be considered as
one (1) whole year.
 Thus, the employer must not arbitrarily or speedily implement a retrenchment program. The requirements discussed above must be
fully complied with so as to preclude any problems in the future. It bears great emphasis that failure to comply with the requirements
mandated by the Labor Code will render the retrenchment invalid and illegal.
This is how to terminate an employee due to retrenchment in the Philippines. Source: https://ndvlaw.com/how-to-terminate-an-
