Deathwish Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Sheriffs are not allowed to use properties which are under legal custody, especially for personal use. There are a number of cases where sheriffs have been suspended or even dismissed from service for this precise reason. another follow up are sheriffs authorized to take the vehicle's registration papers, even if they already have the vehicle in custody... i'am just wondering why would the sheriff ask me to meet up with him outside of court to ask for the vehicle's registration that they already have in custody... he was asking for the original registration but i only gave him a copy of it..

mlpf Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hello, I would just like to pose a questions with any of you legal eagles' here. I was paid with a check, but the person who paid it knowingly stopped payment without giving me a reason. Is there anything legal that I can do? Is there a legal term to what this person did? First, check the notation of the bank officer at the back or the bank advisory. The bank officer will indicate if the check was funded or not when the SPO was issued. If it contained insufficient funds, you can file a case against the person for violating the bouncing checks law (Batas Pambansa Blg. 22). You can also file a case for Estafa (swindling) against the person for issuing the SPO without any justifiable reason. Please get a lawyer to help you draft a demand letter to the person who issued the check. IF the person ignores your letter, go ahead and file a case before the Prosecutors' Office.

You need to go to the police or the NBI (preferably the latter). The problem is that pre-paid SIM cards can be purchased here anonymously. Hence, it is very difficult to know who is sending out the threatening text messages. Anyway, preserve your texts and if possible, back them up in your PC. Hopefully, the authorities here have devices which can track cell phone signals. Quote Link to comment

If the text messages kept coming after u changed ur number, that means the sender is one who is just near u (Kaya nga nalaman niya agad ang abo mong number eh.) At least the number of ur possible suspects will be trimmed and at the same time, hindi ka niya mabu-buwisit in the meantime. Quote Link to comment

ghetto_gospel Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 hi! i need a little bit more information about employers forcing their employess to resign, separation pays and all that sort from you guys. here's the scenario....i'm currently working in an american company (e-commerce company) located somwhere here in ortigas. during the beginning of this year, we had a meeting with our CEO about the comapny, not letting go of any emplyoees this year. this comapny actually has a very good reputation of terminating employees without any due process and all that. ok, the real story begins here: after the big meeting, in a couple of days, the management decided to let go 20% of our support team. and i believe it is because we are very much affected by the US recession. those who were terminated were asked to leave and settle all the paperworks within the day. the next day after this, we (sales dept) had another meeting with our CEO to clarify all the issues. looking at the brighter side of this big turn of events, our CEO said that the sales dept will be safe from retrenchment since we are the bread and butter of the company. during the past few weeks, another big turn has happend. quite a good number of sales people were forced to resign and as per the management, these are the ones with the poorest performance. one thing that concerns me is that, as per all these who got relieved, they won't receive any backpay...i mean, they will still receive a small amount but what is actually due for them won't be given. sorry for all the lack of info coz im not really good in writing, specially for the ones as long as this. so...my question would be: 1) is there any law about due processes for termination and separation pays??

mlpf Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) so...my question would be: 1) is there any law about due processes for termination and separation pays?? The law gives an employer the right to terminate the services of its employees to obviate or to minimize business losses. This right, however, may not be exercised arbitrarily or whimsically. Article 283 of the Labor Code lays down the conditions for the exercise of right, thus: "Art. 283. Closure of establishment and reduction of personnel. � The employer may also terminate the employment of any employee due to the installation of labor saving devices, redundancy, retrenchment to prevent losses or the closing or cessation of operation of the establishment or undertaking unless the closing is for the purpose of circumventing the provisions of this Title by serving a written notice on the workers and the Ministry of Labor and Employment at least one (1) month before the intended date thereof. In case of termination due to the installation of labor saving devices or redundancy, the worker affected thereby shall be entitled to separation pay equivalent to at least his one (1) month pay for every year of service, whichever is higher. In case of retrenchment to prevent losses and in cases of closures or cessation of operations of establishment or undertaking not due to serious business losses or financial reverses, the separation pay shall be equivalent to one (1) month pay or at least one-half (1/2) month pay for every year of service, whichever is higher. A fraction of at least six (6) months shall be considered one (1) whole year." The requisites for valid retrenchment under the foregoing provision are: (1) necessity of the retrenchment to prevent losses and proof of such losses; (2) written notice to the employees and to the Department of Labor and Employment at least one month prior to the intended date of retrenchment; and (3) payment of separation pay equivalent to one month pay or at least 1/2 month pay for every year of service, whichever is higher. Hence, written notice to the affected employee as well as separation pay are a must. If your company does not follow the above requirements, the affected employee can file a case for Illegal Dismissal with the National Labor Relations Commission. One more thing, forcing an employee to resign is a way to circumvent the requirements of retrenchment. Resignation is not advisable for you will be deemed to have waived your separation pay.

mlpf Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 thanks for the heads up....this will be very helpful. does this apply to all kinds of companies, be it private or what not?? The Labor Code applies to all kinds of private companies doing business in the Philippines. It does not apply to employees of government corporations. One last thing, if an employee is forced to resign, he can also file a complaint for Illegal Dismissal under "constructive dismissal". A resignation should be voluntary. It must not be dictated or required by the company. Quote Link to comment
