The labor department said the benefits of employees should not be reduced due to the implementation of the compressed workweek.

“It should not result in diminution of the existing benefits of the employees,” Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said in a statement.

It added that the normal workday could be increased to more than eight hours, but not to exceed 12 hours, without corresponding overtime premium. Bello also reminded private sector workers and employers that the compressed workweek should be based on voluntary agreement of both parties. According to DOLE, there are a lot of considerations in adopting flexible work arrangements, but Bello said the scheme really aims to “improve business competitiveness and productivity.”
