I would like to ask if it's legal for a company to lower down your basic pay. First, I would like to give you a brief detail. I am originally based in Sta Rosa, Laguna however the company sent me to Cebu to support our newly established branch here.
When I decided to be relocated here in Cebu, they want me to sign a new payment plan, according to the new payment plan, I will get 13k basic salary which is lower than 1k from what I am receiving in Sta Rosa. Although the monthly allowance that they offered to me her in Cebu is more than what I am getting in Sta Rosa. Let me give you a comparison so the picture is clearer for you:
From Sta Rosa To Cebu
Monthly Basic 14K 13K
Client Premium 2K None
Skill Allowance None 5K
Location Allowance None 2K
Travel Allowance 1K 1K
Meal Allowance 1K 1K
Rice Subsidy 1K 1K
Gross Total 19K 23K
I understand that I am getting higher amount in Cebu compared to what I am getting in Sta Rosa, But Im also considering other things like the computation of my retirement benefit, 13th month pay, etc..
Thank you!
