Dear Sirs,

 

Please advice.. I resigned from a company last June. I gave them enough notice and serve out and turned over properly all pending jobs to my my replacement. I was even commended by the VP for my professionality in the turn-over process. Several months have passed and they have not issued my clearance as well as given my last pay because I have demo items on loan to a client accounted to me. Items are worth about Php 6,000. Now, they would not give me the EWT (expanded with holding tax) my new employer is requesting. Is this legal?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

The company may only hold a portion of your salary sufficient to cover the demo items and any other accountables you may have. As to the clearance, if the submission of the demo items is a requisite for issuance of clearances under company rules/regulations then it may withhold the issuance. My advice is either to find a way to return the demo items or just have the value deducted from your last pay so you can move on.

Hey Guys, I need your help.

 

I worked for an English Tutoring school for foreign students here sa Cavite for 2 years as of Oct 2009.

During October 2008 to Present day, the company has been struggling and hasn't paid the 13 month for 2008, and 2009.

 

They also haven't been paying salary on time. We would get our salary maybe 2 weeks late, sometimes 1 month late! As of October 2009, our salary was 2 months late! So I quit due to the circumstances. Am I still eligible for severence pay since I had to stop due to their inability to pay the salary for 2 months? I am still yet to receive my 2 months salary that they haven't paid yet. I've been following up, and the Korean managers just tell me, "Sorry, we don't have money now. If I had, I would give you your money, but please wait til we have money." The school has absolutely no students, and they owe millions to the owner of the building they are renting for they haven't paid them for over a year.

 

What can I do? I'm going to fight for my 13 months for 2008 and 2009,

but am I still eligible for severence?

From your statement, you resigned, so it appears you are not entitled to retrenchment pay.

Damn..even if I had to resign because I had no more money in my pockets due to their 2month delay of salary? I was wasting money just going to work. I had no choice but to resign to save myself from bills and hunger. So..I don't have any leverage?

[giboyph]

You mean a violation of your rights? There is such a thing as academic freedom. If you feel you have been grievously wronged you can write a letter to the Dean.

 

Ok thanks sir, i think i will try that.

Usually only those who are involuntarily separated from the company are entitled to severance pay under the Labor Code. However, you are still entitled to your backwages and the unpaid 13th months. You can always file a case with the DOLE but of course this may take some time and if the company really does not have enough, you may still end up with nothing.

Dear Legal Minds of MTC,

 

May kapatid po akong nagtrabaho sa Qatar, for almost 5years.

May loan po siya sa isang bangko at mga credit cards.

Dumating po ang panahon na nag-away sila ng amo niya,

Dahil hindi na niya kayang sikmurain ang trato sa kanya,

tumakas siya at umuwi na sa Pinas.

 

Tanong: May natanggap pong text yung isa sa mga inilagay nyang reference

sa kanyang loan, na sinampahan daw siya ng civil case dito sa Pinas

nuong bangko.

Ano po ang maaaring mangyari sa kapatid ko?

 

Maraming salamat po sa inyo, marami po kayong natutulungan.

[rocco69]

kung tutoo yung text, ang mangyayari sa kapatid mo ay... may kaso siyang civil dito sa Pilipinas - yun lang!

 

alalahanin mo na dito sa Pilipinas, walang nakukulong dahil sa utang - bawal sa atin yun.

 

kung matatalo siya sa kaso, maaaring habulin ang ari-arian niya (kung me mahahanap ang korte), pero walang kulong.

 

wag lang siyang babalik sa Qatar, dahil doon, sa pagkakaalam ko, me kulong pag di ka nakabayad ng utang

kung civil case ang isinampa, malamang ay for collection of sum of money ang ikinaso sa kanya.

ibig sabihin, naniningil ang kanyang mga pinagkakautangan sa pamamagitan na ng korte.

tanong ko lang... san yung utang? dito sa pilipinas o sa qatar? kung sa qatar, walang pakielam ang laws ng qatar dito sa laws ng pilipinas and vice versa.

 

pangalawang tanong: ang nakatanggap ba nung text eh yung reference? if yes, that reference can sue the cc and the collector for harassment... hindi naman sya ang may utang ah.

 

pangatlo: hindi basta ganun ang sampahan ng kaso. but if they do, just attend the hearing. may mediation process naman yun eh kung san pwedeng mag negotiate ang two parties.

 

walang kulong ang utang. attachment of properties lang ang pwedeng gawin, but there are exemptions like family home (based on the family code), and things that your brother owns which are used for his livelihood. and napakahabang proseso nyan. mediation, hearings, enforcement. tapos pag nakita ng sheriff na wala namang properties, wala naman pwedeng kunin.

 

to me, the text message is only a threat.... walang laman yan..

Hi. File a criminal complaint for Reckless Imprudence Resulting in Damage to Property against the lady before the Fiscal's Office. The threat of being criminally charged in court usually motivates erring drivers to settle fast. She will be the one to contact her insurance for the settlement. It is usually the Fiscal who makes a determination of who is probably at fault. In fact, you can ask the traffic investigator to prepare the referral to the fiscal's office. Prepare your complaint-affidavit (or use the statement you prepared before the traffic investigator), attach the sketch and photographs of the damaged vehicle and get a repair estimate for your car.

 

One last thing: if your damage estimate is over P10t and the lady is criminally charged in court, she will be forced to post bail. I don't think the lady will allow it get to that point. She will settle at the level of the fiscal's office.
