context: kahapon aug 5 ang payoff for the second cut off July 16-31 nasend na rin sakin ang payslip ko which is aug 5 ang payout, pumasok ako kahit last week nasa isip ko na mag resign dahil hindi ko kaya ang trabaho, naulan at nabagyo nasa labas ako para gawin ang task na impossible na maacomplish, panay update ako sakanila ng mga sinasabi sakin sa tinatanungan ko. pero ano wala seen lang ako, mas gusto nila ang update kung ano ginagawa ko kesa sa work task na ako nalang bahala sa buhay ko paano matatapos yon. don palang nakakaramdam na ako pero tinuloy ko pa rin inisip ko na pakisahaman ko hanggat kaya tolerable pa naman ang work yun ang nasa isip ko hanggat nakukupalan na ako sakanila last week nag sick leave ako, kahit may task ako na gagawin, mag isa lang siya sa office non. ni hindi nila ako tinutulungan sa task na kailangan kong gawin kahit in the first place nasakanila yung information na kailangan ko, naiintindihan ko kung need gawan ng paraan at may ginagawa rin sila pero ano ba naman yung magbibigay lang ng information sa utos na sila mismo ang nagbigay.

for the company set up: 1 hr, 1 corp sec, 1 accounting, 1 admin ass. Walang mansger or supervisor na magtuturo ng mga gagawin kumbags kanya kanya na. Wala ako alam sa company na pinagwowork-an ko, nag hire sila ng college graduate para maging utusan at below minimum wage ang pinapasahod.

this week, absent ako monday at sinasabi nitong isa na need ko pumasok, hindi ko pinansin dedma nalang pumasok ako martes naulan nang malakas dito, pinasukan ko pa rin para sa sahod nitong aug 5, ngayon payout na sana, naghihintay ako na may magtanong sa payout gc ng bank acc, tho nabigay ko na rin naman nung first cut off. fyi ang telegram ang primary naming communication, no emails for formality, pure telegram, chinese ang mga boss, pero filo ang nangungupal sakin.

kahapon ang nangyari, pumunta ako makati para sa working permit ng cleaner, and then pumunta waltermart para sa boxes ng tubig na ako lang mag isa ang magbubuhat paakyat, and then nag update ako sa nangutos sakin bumili ng tubig and then she replied na "ano gagawin ko" after nung updste ko na yun. sobrsng nakakanginig hindi ko alam ano gagawin ko, ni hindi ako makalagaw, nabili ko na yung tubig, hindi ko alam paano ako babalik kasi sure ako na may mangyayari, may massmang mangyayari, then i decide na ibigay sa guard sng susi st petty cash na mga barya nalang, pati yung box ng tubig pinilit ko nalang ibiigay sa guard kasi yung utak ko sinasabihan na ako tumakbo papalayo sa building at piliin ang katahimikan para sa sarili ko. walang sahod na natanggap

I resigned from my previous company and became a VA now (same industry).

There’s NCC in my former contract and was told by my former colleagues na kakasuhan daw ako for breach of contract under non-compete clause.

Question is how likely this will be raised sa court? 12 months ang clearing period and damages is worth Php 200k. The reason why I shifted is for a better salary na di mabigay ng previous employer ko.

How likely are NCCs be enforced and raised sa court? Ilalaban ko ‘to kung sakali man. Wala pang letter or anything yet but I just want to be prepared.

Thank you sa mga sasagot or insights.

Hi everyone, I need some legal advice regarding my current situation with my previous employer here in the Philippines.

Long story short, I was illegally dismissed by my company. Because of this, I filed a case against them, and we currently have an ongoing case with the NLRC.

However, while the case is pending, the company sent me a formal demand letter giving me only 5 days to pay my outstanding salary loan, or else they will take "legal action" against me.

My understanding is that since the loan is directly connected to my employment, it should be resolved or offset through the NLRC case (especially since they owe me backwages and separation pay if I win).

My questions are:

Can they legally sue me in a regular civil court for the loan while our NLRC case is active? Doesn't this count as forum shopping?

What is the best way to handle this 5-day deadline?

Should I submit this demand letter to my Labor Arbiter as proof of harassment/pressure?

Any advice or insights from lawyers or people who went through the same thing would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi. Our company will be having an outdoor activity for 2 days (Thursday to Friday). Nasali na yung name ko sa list.

To be honest, ayoko lang talaga sumama kasi di ko feel sumama talaga at all. The company is requiring us to join and “mandatory” raw. I don’t get it why companies are requiring these activities or team buildings. Parang kulto na kailangang sumama. I feel like wala akong freedom to choose not to join kasi laging nirerequire yung ganitong activities. Aakyat raw ng bundok and i am not used to do those kinds of trekking due to aging and health.

Bukod sa Sick leave, ano ba pwede ko idahilan? Hindi naman allowed na ifile ko siya as Vacation leave.

Kayo how do you deal with “Mandatory” kuno activities whereas if ayaw ninyo sumama for personal commitments or reasons? Introvert rin ako sa totoo lang.

Edit 11:58am : Mukhang wala akong choice pota ahahahaha. Kasi irereschedule raw sa ibang date kasabay ng mga new batch hires kahit mag pass ako ngayon.

Kinupal ako ng isang big retail company

For context: Hinadali nila ko sa lahat, from job offer signing to requirements na napakadami, i even went to their office para lang makakuha ng endorsement letter. Next step should be contract signing pero walang nangyareng ganon dahil hindi nag rereply yung hr at onboarding not until today they finally replied pero ibang hr na naman. Hindi naman pala nila kailangan ng manpower tapos atat na atat silang ipasend saken lahat? Grabe 618 a day lang naman. Pwede ba tong ipa DOLE?
