I received an email from Mike asking me how I deal with holidays and time-off with the Online Filipino Specialists (OFS).
Mike said he gives his 14 OFS 25 days off a year. He found that rather than going into the specifics on US versus Philippines holidays and time-off, he gives his OFS 25 paid days off throughout the year.
This is a great idea! Giving your OFS a fixed number of paid days off gives them the ability to plan ahead, and they’d feel your trust.
Speaking of holidays and paid time-off – I often receive questions about how we go about it with our OFS at OnlineJobs.ph: Honestly, I don’t really track my OFS’ times off. They can take as much time-off as they want or need; All I ask them is to let me know.
I don’t really care which holidays they’re taking off or how they spend their days-off; as long as I am kept in the loop and made aware beforehand, that’s good enough for me. Some of my OFS go on vacation but still take a little time off their day to check on their tasks, which is great!
My OFS being sick doesn’t count, of course. I don’t have to be told ahead of time because no one knows when they’re going to need medical attention, but I would like to know as soon as they can so I’ll know how I could help.
Maternity and paternity leaves are something else. This crash-course should help.

Ma’am/Sir,
I’m looking for a part time job and I’m willing to commit for the responsibilities same as to my current work now. I’ve been working as a Business Councellor at the Department of Trade and Industry here in the Philippines based Cebu region VII since August 27, 2020 up to now. I’m a mom now and that’s the reason why I’m here . I already have my own family but I can’t afford to leave my Parents and siblings. I’m a breadwinner in the Family, they need me to sustain their needs. I have two siblings and now they are both in school. I hope you can help me to find a part time job. Like data entry job, form filling job, anything I will do it with hard-work and perseverance.
Thank you and Godbless more power??
