Illegal Suspension

April 24 2013, the company E**** received complained from the customer, April 26,2013 I received NTE ( Notice to Explain) with directive to explain in writing in 48 hrs, why no administrative charges be filed against me for possible violation of RULE IV- Negligence of Offical Duties SEC- F Inefficiency /Incompetence in the performance. April 27,2013 I had submitted my explanation "Na inaamin ko na naman na hindi ko na check ang na issue ko sa production. I am only the fabricator of gauge used in production during their machining, dadaan pa po ito sa QC para sa Quality checking. May 2,2013 pina received ako ng Decision of 30 days suspension. Meron na po akong naunang DA ( Deciplinary Action ) Last July 20,2012 pero ito po ay under RULE # IV with penalty of Written Warning and noong Nov 26, 2012 under RULE # II nagkaroon po ako ng 2 weeks suspension dito. Sabi po ng HR kaya umabot ng 30 days ay dahil sa halaga ng na reject.
Tama po ba ito na kahit hindi nmn ako Q.C (Quality Control). Wala pong nangyaring hearing or investigation maliban sa NTE. Both NTE and Decision letter has no sign or acknowledgement of my supervisor.

Last year pa po nila ako inaalok na bayaran kaya lang 25% lang daw po ang ibbigay nila sakin in fact na ako po ay 8 yrs na in service. nakikiusap ako na kahit in 50% ang ibayad nila sakin.
Pero di po sila pumapayag.

Tama po ba itong mag file ako ng illegal suspension at magpabayad ng 100%? Ano po ba ang puwede ko I file na case at ano ang mga puwede ko ma Claim.

buti nga di ka ni terminate.. management prerogative yung suspension mo kasi may negligence ngang nangyari..

pero still dapat my hearing pa din na ischedule sa case mo. suggest ko to check your manual yung offense description na ibinigay sayo ay ang kaukulang penalty nya ay 30 days suspension or kung may nakaindicate doon na kapag malaking halaga ang losses ng company ganitong penalty ang ibibigay hindi pwede yung decision lang na 30 days suspension dahil sa malaking halaga ng reject. it should be documented. remember yung mga penalty na ibibigay per offense category dapat my basis. kung yung 30 days may basis then walang problema pero kung walang basis pede mo iraise yun sa NLRC.

Thanks CharlesI,

Under offense Category Rule# VI, SEC-F ng CRR ( Company Rules and Regulation) it was stated that 1st offense- Written Warning, 2nd Offense 3 Days Suspension, 3rd Offense 6 Days Suspension 4th Offense- Dismissal.

While under General Policies, Its stated that "Depending upon the gravity of the offense, a penalty one or more step higher than the provided for in the rules and regulations may be imposed. But still, per offense naka category ng same RULE#VI. sa lahat ng rules wlang penalty na 30 days, walang hearing na naganap.

you were not terminated, but you can contest your suspension. the award will be equal to the period you were suspended.

Thanks ATTY LLL,

Can you pls explain further, not much familiar with legal words " you were not terminated, but you can contest your suspension. the award will be equal to the period you were suspended.

Meaning po ba wala akong laban pag nag labor ako?

Marami pong salamat.

the labor code gives you the right to question the basis for your suspension by filing a complaint at nlrc. the outcome will depend on what evidence you and the company will provide.
