a. Wage Order

2. Salary Cap Method

Method where the wage adjustment is to be applied to employees receiving a certain denominated salary ceiling. In other words, workers already being paid more than the existing minimum wage (up to a certain amount stated in the Wage Order) are also to be given a wage increase. (Employers Confederation of the Philippines v. National Wages and Productivity Commission, G.R. No. 96169, 1991).

Pursuant to its authority, the Regional Wage Boards may issue wage orders which set the daily minimum wage rates. It has no authority to grant an across-the-board wage increase. (Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company v. NWPC, 2007).
