Following the provisions of our law abovecited, each of the respondents is entitled to an amount equivalent to the salaries for three (3) months, representing the unexpired portion of their respective twelve (12)-month contracts, computed as follows: US$1,936 x 3 = US$5,808 We note that there is no evidence on record of payment of placement fee. Hence, we are unable to award reimbursement of the same. Anent the vacation leave pay owing to respondent Cuesta, records show that he only received an amount corresponding to the period November 13, 1998 – November 26, 1998, but none for the period November 27, 1998 – January 24, 1999. Since his Contract of Employment  guarantees vacation leave pay of US$75 [21] monthly, he is entitled to unpaid vacation leave pay computed as follows: US$75 divided by 30 x (34 + 24) = US$145. Pursuant to his Contract of Employment,  respondent Gonzaga is also [22] entitled to unpaid vacation leave pay for the periodJanuary 7, 1999 – January 24, 1999, computed as follows: US$75 divided by 30 x 18 = US$45. We also noticed that the salary received by respondent Gonzaga for the period January 5, 1999 – January 6, 1999 did not reflect the increased wages based on the November 27, 1998 ITF Agreement. He is entitled to the differential computed thus: US$1,936 divided by 30 x 1 = US$64.53
