February this year, Inquirer reported that JPMorgan will cut 8,000 jobs to keep expenses down. Based on the guest comment “The mortgage LOB of JPMC in Taguig already rolled out the job cuts intended for 2014 last Dec 2013. Total number of jobs to be cut = 2000. Seven VPs were already called by HR for the retrenchment package."

Working in a KPO/In-house site is rewarding because it provides above the industry standard salary packages, aside from the huge pay some company offer retirement plans. Health care benefits through health cards could go as high 200,000 pesos with addition of two (2) dependents. We are hoping for the best that the affected employees would find work as soon as possible so that they could save a portion of the separation plan.

With reports like these, do you still want to hunt jobs in Financial in-house sites or you would prefer BPO's instead? Let's head on to the comments section to discuss.

    As far as the white-collar jobs are concerned, the statistics clearly show that the IT sector has been facing constant competition with respect to the annual payout from the Banking sector. Speculations confirm that within a span of two financial years, the banking pay-out bar would exceed that of the IT sector with the later losing its past prosperity over time.myifsccode.com/punjab-national-bank-ifsc/

    To start with, when you get an email from your bank, call them to confirm that they sent the email. Second, rather than opening the email they sent you, visit the bank's site straightforwardly and check whether you can lead what's requested from you on their site by you signing in straightforwardly as opposed to clicking a login connect in an email message.NFT Calendar

13th Month Pay Bonus Calculator

By
There are a lot of articles that have been published on how to compute the 13th month pay and I have read most of it however, I think it’s missing the actual calculator that can compute our estimated 13th month pay. The 13th month pay calculator that we have created would be beneficial especially for those employees who have been employed by the company for less than a year because, the amount of the 13th month pay will be pro-rated (will depend on the number of days or months of service). Based on DOLE’s Department Advisory  the number of days for leave without pay should be taken into consideration. Computation 1: If you have been employed by your company for more than a year use the computation below; Computation 2: Pro- Rated computation. If you have been employed by your company for less than a year use the computation below; Our Calculator has used the formula above to compute your estimated 13th month pay.  How to use the calculator: If you hav
