Case Problem 2:
Anabel Rama, the production manager of the Able Construction and Development
Corporation, Inc. after aware of the large percentage of labor turn-over of resignation from
employment of employees working in her department decided to see the Personnel Manager for
some assistance.
From the talks between Anabel Rama and the Personnel Manager, Jaime Abad, the
following information were gathered:
1. An average of twenty-five (25%) percent of the workers in the Production Department
resigned monthly to work with other companies within Metro Manila or abroad.
2. Employees complained of too much overtime work. Presently, employees in the
Production Department work 12 hours daily, Mondays through Fridays. There is no
work on Saturdays and Sundays.
3. Production Work is usually done in projects requiring workers to stay in the work site
until the projects are completed.
4. The pay scale for the employees is ten percent (10%) higher than the industry pay scale
for the different jobs.
QUESTIONS:
1. As Personnel Manager, analyze what is wrong or lacking in the Production Department
and/or its manager, Anabel Rama.
2. What improvements or solutions would you offer Anabel Rama? Justify your proposed
improvements or solutions.
3. What suggestions would you propose to management to solve the problems encountered
at the Production Department?
ANSWERS:
1. If I were the Personnel Manager, I put Anabel Rama in this kind of situation to
understand why workers resigning, and look for good offer from another company and
give them proper compensation. In this way, she would know the reason why the workers
resign and look for another company.
2. My solutions are, I follow the rules of the Labor that it could have 8 working hours with
additional pay if it is required to take overtime. The overtime is not forcedly imposed. If
other workers could not work in within 8 hours, his/her salary is based on the total hours
rendered, and the workers need to work during Saturday and Sunday it will receive
double pay of his/her salary. This type of offer could attract the workers and remain in
the company.
3. I suggest, to give the workers chance to take their salary if it is rendered in overtime.
Give proper benefits for the workers and proper salary wage for those workers who
rendered overtime. And discuss the problem with the workers so that it could understand
what is the problem of the company. And probably the company will give the additional
percent those workers who take the overtime, so that workers is did not complain. The
management should listen to the workers so they do not leave.
