Termination without Due Process

Hi,

Hi, I would like to inquire about my job being terminated due to absconding. They ended my employment last Jan. 09, 2014 because of my absences without notice for Jan. 6-9,2014. Wherein I advised that I wont be able to attend my shift until the 15th of Jan through email since I dont have my phone with me. I got the news that Im already terminated so I went to the office on the available time for me to clear everything but they told me that Im already tagged as TERMINATED. I dont even get a letter for admin hearing for my termination case. I understand that due process still needs to be serve in accordance to dismissal. I tried coordinting with then multiple times but still not getting clear response. I waited for the RTWO since it is for due process but haven't got any letters from them.

Now, the biggest part is I haven't filed the complains yet to NLRC and now I received the FIRST and ONLY letter from my employer informing me to settle the outstanding financial obligation.
**Reasons are Overpayment of final salary and cost allocated for training and upskilling for failure to render 30days and failed to return company assets.

First of all, I tried to coordinate with them regarding this issue. I even asked them if I can just resign to clear everything but they told me that Im already terminated.

I am looking forward for your legal advise.

Thank you!

I am hoping someone can provide inputs. Thanks

file a case at NLRC for illegal termination.

Thank you for the reply. I am hoping that this can be settle after the SEnA.

What if they didn't attend the SEnA? Can it be escalated to Arbiter?

After a month with this case, di sila sumipot sa SENA at nagfile na ko ng complaint to Arbiter. Sa first meeting sa Arbiter, di pa rin sila sumipot at may 2nd hearing pa, hoping na sisipot sila to finalized this. However, ask ko lang what if di pa rin sila sumipot. What legal action do I have and would that cost me?

Salamat po!

I just want to ask since hindi umattend ung company sa sessions namin sa NLRC, now is requesting to submit the position paper. The problem is that PAO denied my request since it is only applicable to those whose net salary is Php14,000 below.

My question is, can NLRC accept the Position Paper without the signature of an attorney? Since I cant afford one.

Yes you can file your own position paper, but in the required format.

I got a decision from the arbiter in favor of me, then the respondent file an appeal. What will happen now and how long it usually takes?

Kung ikaw ay talagang may sakit, walang magagawa ang iyong kumpanya. Ihanda mo ang iyong medical certificate. Pag gumaling ka pumasok ka just like before. pag hindi ka pinapasok at inalis ka o na dismiss ka ...file ka ng kaso sa NLRC para madagdagan ang kaso ng tinamaan na magalingyang kumpanyang yan.

jheckie: before thinking of filing a case against your company, please consider your employment status for now (probationary). Meaning, it may affect your employment if you undertake such an action, it would have been different if you are already regular employee , then you have a security of tenure and management cant just fire you left and right.

Being probationary entails sacrifices for finding work these days are so difficult and very competitive.

Being a sales supervisor encompassed a very broad range of responsibility coming from the word itself -- to supervise -- the task involve overseeing a multifarious function pertaining to operation and also as what your contract provides.

Why not take the matter first to your immediate head and clear all the uncertainties with respect to your duties and responsibilities before deciding steps leading to legal action.

thanks for the opportunity to answer your query

Atty Karl Rove

how many months were you in the company?

Good evening po sa inyo. Sana po ay mayroong makatulung sa amin ng kapatid ko.Ang kapatid ko po ay nagtratrabaho sa isang hotel sa Makati. Na-terminate po siya, kasama ng iba pa niyang co-workers sa hotel pinagtatrabahuan nila sa kadahilanang nadamay sila sa kasalanan ng Supervisor nila, na napag-alamang nag-nanakaw ng pera sa hotel.

Ang sabi sa kanya ng Manager nila, desisyon ng mayari ng hotel na tanggalin lahat sila dahil nawala na yung tiwala sa kanila ng company. Hindi po sila nabigyan ng due process, at ayaw na rin po silang bigyan ng Certificate of Employment ng hotel na pinagtatrabuhan nila.

Meron po bang expert dito sa Labor Code? Hindi ko po personal na maalalayan ang kapatid ko dahil nasa ibang bansa po ako. Sana po ay may makatulong sa amin. Maraming salamat po.

The respondent submitted a letter of appeal. Do I need to respond to it? Or I just need to wait for another decision? I really appreciate your response since I can't afford a lawyer and been striving to resolve my case by myself. Thank you

ideally, you should file a response. you have 10 days after you received the appeal memorandum. check if they filed a bond for the monetary reward. this may also be an opportunity for you to negotiate a settlement.
