Hi,

 

On my job offer, my prospective (a foreigner planning to open Phil. Office) employer asked me what I was getting from my previous employment with regards to Leaves. I then said 15 VL, 15 SL. Then employer accepted, hired me and gave sent me employment contract for my evaluation. Later on when I told him I'm about to sign, he then said not to sign 1st as he is drafting another one. Then came the bombshell, he reduced our previously agreed 15 VL, 15 SL to 5 VL, 5 SL. His defense, this is legal in terms on Phil. Labor law. When I countered what about what we agreed during the job offer, he answered that he was ignorant about Phil Labor Law at that time..

 

Now, my points:

1. He agreed to my terms during the JO

2. Its not my fault about his claimed ignorance. He should have researched in the 1st place.

3. Now that he has made me resign from my previous job to join him, he is now "changing the rules"

4. As far as I know:

Contract terms can come from a number of different sources; for example they could be:

- verbally agreed

- in a written contract, or similar document

- in an employee handbook or on a company notice board in an offer letter from your employer

 

So what now, do I have a legal or at least ethical basis to contend this unilateral employment contract modification, or I just have to suck this up?

 

Note, that whatever happens to me will also be the same to my staff.

 

And yes, I know the boss is a dick. But can I legally, ethically or at least logically fight this onslaught for my staff and myself?

 

Thanks

If you wish to file a criminal case for Reckless Imprudence Resulting in Damage to Property before the Fiscal's Office, you can run after the driver only. The operator cannot be charged criminally. The operator can be held only civilly liable after the driver has been found guilty and is unable to pay. Matagal na proseso po ito. Moreover, the driver most likely will not have any money to pay you. If you wish, go after the operator directly by filing a civil case for damages against him in court. The operator will most likely try to settle.

 

You have 2 options: (1) You can file a criminal case against the driver before the Fiscal's Office. You may be able to throw the driver in jail and run after the operator for damages only after the driver is found guilty. This will take a long time. (2) File a civil case against the operator directly in court. This process will be faster. I recommend the second option if you only plan to recover damages and not throw the driver in jail.

 

thanks a lot mlpf...god bless

Is there any complaint, civil or even criminal, that a wife can file against her husband's mistress without involving the husband?

Sorry, if the wife wishes to file a criminal complaint for Concubinage, she has to include both the husband and his mistress. If the wife wishes to file a civil complaint for damages only, I think it is possible not to include the husband as a defendant. However, the wife may have a hard time proving her case without her husband's cooperation.

Yap, a civil complaint for alienation of spouse's affection. I'm afraid a criminal complaint won't be possible without including the husband.

[Arneeious]

Thank you for the replies. What kind of civil complaint can the wife file? Is there a specific case that can be filed against a homewrecker?

As I said, it's called "Complaint/Action for Alienation of Spouse's Affection". It's authorized by the provisions on Human Relations of the Civil Code.

You have to file a Petition for Correction of Entry in the RTC in the city where the birth cert was registered. This is a simple case which shouldn't take too long to resolve.

Another alternative would be to go to your local civil registrar and have it corrected. There is a process where if the error is clearly just clerical, it can be corrected by mere affidavit.

good morning, GM-lawyers.

 

simple question lang po:

can a supermarket compel you to produce

a receipt of goods bought before you

exit their premises?

 

na-hassle lang ako kanina after buying

from SaveMore. the receipt was inside my

wallet which was inside my bag.

needless to say, it was quite a hassle

to get it out.

 

i read somewhere WalMart (US) had a

similar practice and consumers protested

against it.

 

tia!

You may also visit LTFRB and file a formal complaint against the driver and operator

 

LTFRB will summon them and they will be meted with suspensions for at least 2 months up to 6 months

 

in this way mapapaaga ang areglo nila ... imagine no income for 2 months, impound vehicle

 

bring your police report

hi sirs...i had a motorcyle accident last january with a taxi cab. it was established in the police report that it was the cab's fault becuase he counterflowed o my direction. Pero naawa ako sa taxi driver dahil mahirap ang buhay and he assisted me also papuntang hospital.

 

hi promised me to pay for the damages,but nakiusap syang kung pwedeng hulugan monthly nlng ang pagbayad at least P500, dahil ayaw syang tulungan ng operator nya...gusto pa nga syang sisantehin dahil daw dun sa aksidente.

 

my problem is..though he gave all his contact info including his address, nataguan na ata ako kse inde na sya macontact, at yung promise na nya idaan skin ang hulog (na mukha imposible nga) ay malabo na. ano kya mga sirs ang pwede kong legal move dito? can i also sue the operator?

I also thought this was another option but when I checked the law on administrative correction, it states: "Provided, however, That no correction must involve the change of nationality, age, status or sex of the petitioner."(sec. 2)

I'm not aware of any law which prohibits this but I think it would be easy for supermarkets to justify this by saying that it's a reasonable safety measure to deter shoplifting.

thanks, master.

i guess what pisses me off with this practice

is that it smacks of profiling (parang sa Arizona ).

 

i don't see them doing it sa mga naka-posturera na shoppers

pero sa mga naka-pambahay lang na nagsa-shop sa kanila, eh,

may discrimination sila.
