HALL shall make available to them shall be used for the sole purpose of student

information by any of its members to any party outside of the BRGY. HALL.

VI. OTHER PROVISIONS

It is expressly understood by the PARTIES that the BRGY. HALL is not obliged to
pay wage or salary since there is no employer-employee relationship that exists.
However, the BRGY. HALL is not precluded from providing the student with any
monetary or financial assistance in the form of transportation fee, food allowance, etc.

In determining the existence of an employer-employee relationship, the following


elements are considered: (1) the power to hire; (2) the payment of wages; (3) the power to
dismiss, and (4) the power to control the employee’s conduct, with the control test generally
assuming primacy in the overall consideration.

No employer-employee relationship exists between the student and the partner


in work immersion if all the following criteria are met:
1. The training, even though it includes actual operation of the employer’s facilities,
is similar to training provided in an educational program;
2. The training is for the benefit of the student;
3. The student does not displace regular employees, and works under
close supervision;
4. The students are not entitled to a job at the conclusion of the training period and
are free to take jobs elsewhere in the same field;
5. Any clinical training is performed under the supervision and direction of people
who are knowledgeable and experienced in the activity;
6. The training is general, and qualifies the student to work in any similar business. It
is not designed specifically for a job with the employer that offers the program;
7. The screening process for the immersion program is not the same as for
employment, and does not appear to be for that purpose. The screening only uses
criteria relevant for admission to an independent educational program; and
8. Advertisements, posting, or solicitations for the program clearly discuss education
or training, rather than employment, although employers may indicate that
qualified graduates may be considered for employment.
