Description The highlights of results of the survey include:
1.Establishment Profile - The survey covered a total of 21,527 non-agricultural establishments employing 20 0r more workers in 1999.Of these, 27.1 percent were engaged in manufacturing and 24.0 percent were in wholesale and retail trade.A mere 19.8 percent of the establishments were with union and 19.0 percent were covered by collective bargaining agreements (CBAs). As to type of ownership, majority or 85.3 percent were Filipino-owned while only 14.7 percent were with foreign capital.

2.Hiring Practices - The top five (5) methods being adopted by the establishments in hiring and filling up of vacancies were: through referrals/recommendations (56.4%); by word of mouth (49.4%);advdertising through newsprint/media (46.1%);by promotion internally (44.4%);and by posting vacancies on bulletin boards within the establishment or its vicinity (43.5%).

3.Workforce Reduction - A total of 6,426 (26.9%) establishments reported a reduction in the size of their workforce in 1998.The reasons placed were mostly economic in nature like lack of market/slump in demand (52.7%), financial losses (50.0%), peso depreciation (37.3%)and high production cost(33.2%).

4.Wage Practices - Results of inquiries on the method used in fixing or revising wages posted that almost one-third (32.8%) responded that the employers decide the amount of pay to be given to their employees. A higher percentage (38.9%) based their pay scale on the wage restructuring issuance of the Regional Tripartite Wage and Productivity Board (RTWPB) while some 12.6 percent followed a more democratic approach by using the collective bargaining table in negotiating for wages and salaries. A few (10.6%) still go through a process of individual bargaining between employees and employers. On the basis of payment for the majority of their workers, results show that the basis of payment for the majority of employees was on a semi-monthly basis accounting for 54.8 percent of the respondents.
