How do file a labor case at DOLE?

November 14, 2011 | By Fitz | Filed in: Career & Employment, General Information.

My brother got terminated from the job without any legal reason. He says it was company politics because one of the supervisor’s son wanted his position which he has held for almost 5 years now.

Now he wants to file a case in the Department of Labor for illegal dismissal. How should he go about it? The company is a government office. Any input would be of great help. Thanks!

    How was the termination done? First you need to understand the process of which the termination was done. We call it due process where the immediate boss or HR serves a Showcause Memo, goes through a 48 hour waiting period, Administrative hearing then serving the Sanction Memo. Second, you need to understand the basis of the termination. If these two criteria were failed, or at least one, then you may file illegal termination. Just simply go to any DOLE or NLRC office nearest you, report it and a letter will be sent to the company for an arbiter’s meeting.

    Hi would it possible to file a case for Korean restaurant who employed a minor specifically under the age of 17 with no legal consent from the parents. Likewise they did not offer papers to sign since my friend is a trainee there and was also told by the korean owner that they do not follow the holiday pays that came with the holy week and forces there workers to work more than 10 hrs under a minimum wage

    Please let us know how should we go about this

    hi,
    can you please check if i can file a case for this incident?
    my scenario is, our upper management would like to file an Incident Report for my incurring absences even if i have proper documents to support it (Medical certificate from clinics / hospital acknowledge by the company) stating accurate days of rest – which would also allow me to file and cover a Sick Leave on our system. im not sure what they are trying to implement here but its not fair on my part despite of the money they are deducting – performance wise and incentive wise.

    Hello just like to know my fight about my case
    I was terminated due to falsification of time sheet, I incorrectly tagged a new hires attendance twice, this was an honest mistake, I should say negligence on my part. I was just a POC for a team for 7 months so I was fairly new with the process. I accepted the HRs decision however requested to have a graceful exit after 4 years of good performance record but the won’t accept, now I heard they putting false alligations on my name.

    Please advise.

    Hai in our company they have this called rest day Incentive. That you will be receiving 1200 if you come in to work during your day off 500 for 4hrs. Now I have never received it. I’ve been asking our payroll dept about it every now and then . Now that its already May because I render RDOT last January. They told me that they can no longer dispute it. I don’t know why. That was happened. They told me because its payroll’s policy however its not my fault that I have never received any of my incentive. And I really like to file a complaint abiut this. Yeah maybe it only cost of thousands but the point is that is my HARD EARNED MONEY though due to some reason I have never received it. And I really don’t like what happened. By the way I am not the only one who never received the Incentive. My workmates told me after they render RDOT they eventually received it on Friday or the next Friday.
    Please help me with this concern

    Hi good day. I am working on a japanese company. We have a president which is a japanese and also a factory manager. We would like to file a complaint regarding this factory manager who is acting like a president. He has a rough attitude. He always shout on the employees. He always said stupid on some wmployees. Sometimes he make a scene on our office where he make our office make ashamed without nothing to do on him. Also he finishes contract of employees if that person made a little mistake or sometime only got blamed. He is really a rude old man. He didnt respect his employees. Can you please help us on how to give a lecture that old man. Or if it is okay to let him back in his country.

    Ano po pwedeng gawin if the company doesn’t deposit our Mandatory Gov’t. Contributions pero monthly binabawasan po kami. And the office is exposing all employees to imminent danger during the pandemic. They don’t allow skeletal workforce setup sa office. I got CoVid at the office and there were several cases already that came out but they choose to ignore protocols. The office is cramped and can’t observer social distance because apart from the office being small, we are a lot at the office. Like a lot.
