BPO Companies with Bi-Weekly Pay Schedule

By
Before joining the BPO industry, I receive my salary trough semi-monthly (15,30/31) payment, which appears to be a standard in the country.

When I started working for a call center company that offers a bi-weekly pay schedule (every other Friday), I was surprised that there were a lot benefits for this type of payroll.

Let me share the pros and cons of receiving Bi-Weekly salary. Pros and Cons of Bi-Weekly Salary

Pros:
1. You will be paid 26 times a year compared to 24 times on semi-monthly payment.
2. It’s easy to manage your money since you wouldn’t have to wait for a specific date (15, 30) to receive your salary.
3. You can receive 3 paychecks in a month (May, October)  as seen from the bi-weekly pay calendar below.

Cons:

1. Smaller amount of paycheck since the hours worked is fixed at 80 compared to semi-monthly payment which is greater than 80 work hours. 

Here’s the List of BPO Companies with Bi-Weekly Pay Period (Every other Friday).

Convergys
Dell
EGS
Harte-Hanks

Ingram Micro
KGB
Startek
Stefanini
Transcom
VXI
West
Xerox

Would you prefer a bi-weekly pay period over the normal 15/30,31 pay scheme?

    Yes. Biweekly is more reasonable. At least they won't have a reason for not paying the excess days you worked since they always say "Your salary is based on your monthly even if the working days are just 20 - 22 days per month. lol funny

PLDT ULTERA REVIEW AND SMARTBRO CANOPY

By
Thinking of a work from home setup? Working from home means having more time with the family, but you have to consider your kids, background noises (dogs, tricycle, videoke) and a good home office setup. One of the most important thing to invest in is your internet connection. Let me share my experience on PLDT uLTEra, after 25 months of usage of theSmart Bro Canopy plan 999 or PLDT Home Bro I can say that I’m quite satisfied with the service since I get a constant speed of almost 2Mbps download plus upload and a friend is also using the same connection for his work from home office.   As part of their retention service PLDT offered a free upgrade to PLDT Home Bro Ultera. So what do I got after the upgrade? 1.        Free installation and activation fee. 2.        3Mbps of High-speed LTE service. 3.        I could still keep my SmartBro/HomeBro Canopy till I fully use the PLDT Ul...

13th Month Pay Bonus Calculator

By
There are a lot of articles that have been published on how to compute the 13th month pay and I have read most of it however, I think it’s missing the actual calculator that can compute our estimated 13th month pay. The 13th month pay calculator that we have created would be beneficial especially for those employees who have been employed by the company for less than a year because, the amount of the 13th month pay will be pro-rated (will depend on the number of days or months of service). Based on DOLE’s Department Advisory  the number of days for leave without pay should be taken into consideration. Computation 1: If you have been employed by your company for more than a year use the computation below; Computation 2: Pro- Rated computation. If you have been employed by your company for less than a year use the computation below; Our Calculator has used the formula above to compute your estimated 13th month pay.  How to use the calculator: I...
