Question
Rosa Dela Cruz, a non-managerial production worker at Pacifica Metal Works Corp, is assigned to the night shift from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM, Monday to Friday. Her regular daily wage is PHP 600. For the past four weeks, the employer has paid only the regular wage with no NSD. The employer contends NSD is not required for her position. Rosa requests NSD for all hours she worked during the night shifts.
(a) Identify the controlling doctrine and the basic rule governing night shift differential under Philippine labor standards, including who is entitled.
(b) Distinguish night shift differential from overtime or other premium pays, and explain how NSD is computed.
(c) Apply the rule to the facts: how much NSD is due for one workweek of five night shifts, and is the employer's failure to pay NSD lawful?
