There is no recognized practice in the retail
industry to deduct from the Sales Clerk’s wages
the negative variance the company had in its
sales especially here where there is no proof of
responsibility and no opportunity to be heard
(2014 Bluer Than Blue Joint Venture Company
citing Nina Jewelry Mfg. of Metal Arts)
If a probationary employee had been fully
apprised by his employer of his duties and
responsibilities, then basic knowledge and
common sense dictate that he must adequately
perform the same, else he fails to pass the
probationary trial and may therefore be subject
to termination. The adequate performance of
such duties and responsibilities constitute the
inherent and implied standard for regularization
(2014 Abbott Laboratories Phils. En banc)
The mere lapse of the six month period of
floating status does not immediately constitute
constructive dismissal. The circumstances must
be looked into and the reason of the security
guard’s failure to assume another post or
assignment. If such failure is due to the
employee’s own refusal (he insisted on his
former assignment as VIP security), the security
agency should not be held liable (2014 Exocet
Security & Allied Services Corp., et al.,)
Sexual acts and intimacies between two
consenting adults belong, as a principled ideal,
to the realm of purely private relations.
Whether aroused by lust or inflamed by sincere
affection, sexual acts should be carried out at
such place, time and circumstance that, by the
generally accepted norms of conduct, will not
offend public decency nor disturb the generally
held or accepted social morals (2014 Imasen
Phil. Mfg. Corp)
When a teacher, in numerous instances, failed
to observe the school’s prescribed standards of
performance (i.e. lack of adequate planning for
her subject, and lack of skills, in-depth
knowledge and expertise) and was informed of
these inadequacies, given a chance to improve
and even made to undergo remediation, she
can be terminated for gross inefficiency after
affording her right to prior notice and hearing
(2014 International School Manila et al., )
An appeal to reverse or modify a Voluntary
Arbitrator’s award or decision must be filed with
the Court of Appeals within 10 calendar days
from receipt of the award or decision. Xxx Being
provided in the statute, this 10 day period must
be complied with; otherwise, no appellate court
will have jurisdiction over the appeal, the award
or decision becoming final and executory after
10 calendar days (2014 Phil. Electric
Cooperative)
(a) The filing of a motion to reduce appeal bond
shall be entertained by the NLRC subject to the
following conditions: (1) there is meritorious
ground; and (2) a bond in a reasonable amount
is posted;
(b) For purposes of compliance with condition
no. (2), a motion shall be accompanied by the
posting of a provisional cash or surety bond
equivalent to ten percent (10), of the monetary
award subject of the appeal, exclusive of
damages and attorney's fees;
(c) Compliance with the foregoing conditions
shall suffice to suspend the running of the 10-
day reglementary period to perfect an appeal
from the labor arbiter's decision to the NLRC;

(d) The NLRC retains its authority and duty to


resolve the motion to reduce bond and
determine the final amount of bond that shall
be posted by the appellant, still in accordance
with the standards of meritorious grounds and
reasonable amount; and
(e) In the event that the NLRC denies the
motion to reduce bond, or requires a bond that
exceeds the amount of the provisional bond,
the appellant shall be given a fresh period of ten
(10) days from notice of the NLRC order within
which to perfect the appeal by posting the
required appeal bond (2015 Manila Mining
Corp., citing 2013 Mcburnie En Banc)
Art. 284 applies also to non-contagious diseases
e.g. stroke, heart attack, osteoarthritis, eye
cataract The twin notice requirement applies in
termination due to disease since an employee
should be afforded procedural due process in all
cases of dismissal (2014 Deoferio citing 2003 Sy
& 2005 Manly Express)
Effective July 1, 2013, the monetary award shall
earn interest at 6% per annum in view of the
issuance of BSP-MB Cir, No. 799, S. 2013
amending Sec. 2, Cir. 905, S. 1982 (2014 Phil
Spring Water Resources Inc. citing 2013 Nacar)

*Applies to final judgments after July 1, 2013


The proscription against “disgraceful or immoral
conduct” , which is made as a cause for
dismissal by a Catholic school must necessarily
refer to public and secular morality. To
constitute “disgraceful or immoral”, it must be
“‘detrimental (or dangerous) to those
conditions upon which depend the existence
and progress of human society’ and not
because the conduct is proscribed by the beliefs
of one religion or the other (2015 Leus)
