Pwede po ba kasuhan ang isang tao, na nanghihingi sa iyo ng pera using a different identity? May nanloko kasi sa kin ginamit niya name ng friend niya.

[rocco69]

that could fall under estafa - "defrauding another by false pretenses", in this case "by using fictitious name", prior or simultaneously to the fraud (see Art. 315[2a], Revised Penal Code). if the use of the name was the primary reason why you gave the money (siyempre, sasabihin mo sa piskalya na ganun nga, di ka sana magbibigay ng pera kung alam mo na siya pala yun), that would constitute estafa.

Should solo parent leaves (not more than 7 days) be deducted from emergency leaves? How many leaves are employees entitled to in a year?

 

Solo parent leaves, unlike vacation, sick and maternity leaves, are not mandatory benefits. If the company grants solo parent leaves, it depends on company policy on how this will be applied.

Under Section 8 of RA8972, "in addition to leave privileges under existing laws, parental leave of not more than seven (7) working days every year shall be granted to any solo parent employee who has rendered service of at least one (1) year."

 

under Section 21 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations, emergency leaves cannot be charged to the solo parent leave. however, the leave is not cumulative, nor is it convertible to cash. Ergo, solo parent's leave is really only 7 days every year.

i have a question ...

 

worker A works for company X and is seconded to company Y. company Y is closing shop and company X wants all remaining (< 5) employees to be transferred to company X other units. company Y has, 2 years ago, retrenched all other employees (abt 50) and these remaining (<5) are just there as a transition team.

 

does worker A have an option to be retrenched and opt not to be transferred to company X?

worker A works for company X and is seconded to company Y.

 

based on this statement alone, worker A has no option to be retrenched

Sirs,

 

kami po ay nasa family compound na yung lola ko ang may-ari. pero pumunta na sila sa states. iniwan po sa tatay ko ang pamamahala ng compound. meron pong 5 apartment sa likod at yung main house sa harap po ng compound. mga kamag-anak po ang nakatira sa mga apartment. meron pong renta sila, though dahil kamag-anak, mura lang ang upa. lately, nadiskubre namin na halos 1 year na palang di nagbabayad ang dalawang apartment dahil katwiran nila kay lola sila magbabayad.

 

sumulat na po ang lola ko sa kanila at sa tatay ko na sinisingil na sila. pero ayaw pa rin nila.

 

ang tanong po: pwede na po ba namin paalisin (read: palayasin) ang mga di nagbabayad na kamag-anak?

 

tia!

[rocco69]

kailangan muna na sumulat kayo sa kanila na pinapalayas nyo na sila. ang unang sulat kasi ay sinisingil lang sila. bago ka makapagsampa sa korte ng ejectment, kailangan may sulat na pinapalayas mo ang tenant.

 

baka kailangan din na dumaan muna ito sa barangay (altho maaaring di na ito dumaan dun dahil nasa US naman ang may-ari)

 

mangangailangan nga lang ang tatay mo ng SPA mula sa Lola mo na nagbibigay sa kanya ng kapangyarihan upang magsampa ng kaso laban sa mga tenant (kung wala pa kayo nito, dahil nasa America na ang lola mo, kailangan ang SPA ay notaryado sa consulate ng Pilipinas sa America - yung may pulang ribbon at gintong selyo).

 

at kung mga anak ng lola nyo, o di-kaya'y apo, ang nakatira, kailangan din may alegasyon sa reklamong isasampa sa korte, na sinubukan nyong magkasundo pero ito ay di nagtagumpay (Art. 151, Family Code).

 

para siguradong di mabubulilyaso ang pagpapalayas nyo sa mga di nagbabayad, kumunsulta na sa abugado.

 

Note: dahil mababa ang renta, baka bumabagsak din ito sa ilalim ng RA9653 (altho dahil isang taon ng hindi nagbabayad, pwede talaga silang palayasin, pero mas maigi talaga na lumapit na kayo sa abugado, dahil sigurado na magbabanta ang mga yan na irereklamo sa BIR dahil walang resibo, di nagbabayad ng buwis etc. etc.)

sir!

 

marami pong salamat sa advise!

greetings, dear GM-lawyer-masters!

 

can my company bind me with a contract to stay with them

for a certain amount of time in exchange for training which

they made me attend?

 

if i refuse such training, can i be charged with insubordination?

 

tia! http://lh6.ggpht.com/_3Lud_9_uocs/TLoRTreBiWI/AAAAAAAAB8w/JzCdZbdX6AE/studyingKucco.gif

[rocco69]

depende. ang test lagi ay ang "test of reasonableness."

 

kung reasonably required ng trabaho mo sa company yang training na ibinibigay sa iyo, at reasonable din naman yung time na nakatali ka sa company, maaari kang ma-charge for insubordination.

 

pero, kung di naman necessary yung training sa trabaho mo (ex. kung for convenience lang)di ka nila mare-require na matali sa corporation; or kung sobrang haba naman yung time na nakatali ka sa company, di ka nila pwedeng pilitin na mag-attend ng training na yan.

ihingi ko lang po ng opinion tong scenario na ito:

 

 

a credit card was stolen and was used to buy 2 units of mobile phones in an Hello Telecom Store in a Mall. The owner of the card, Miss A , accused her colleague Miss B who sits beside her for stealing the card and immediately filed a blotter in two different stations, 1st, near the office and 2nd, near the Mall.

 

Miss B, the accused, said that she "never ever" touched the bag or any personal property of Miss A.

 

The office that Miss A and B occupies has no CCTV Camera installed.

 

The credit card was used at the span of 1830H to 1900H (the actual time was not pinpointed) but the accused claimed that at that specific time, she was alone and on her way home riding a PNR train and she boarded the train at 1835H.

 

The owner of the card Miss A, went to the store where the phones were bought using the card and shown the crew of the store a picture of Miss B and the crew of the store said the girl on the picture was the one who bought the said two units, and signed a document pinpointing Miss B as the person who bought the units using the card but not checking the CCTV camera records nor asking for the personal appearance of Miss B to verify the actual identity.

 

Miss B, was detained in the office where she is working due to the accusations and was not allowed to leave the office for some unknown reason until her mother came to the said office to claim her daughter.

 

questions:

 

1.) was the statement of the Hello Store Crew valid as a proof that Miss B was the one who bought the units even if the Crew only saw the picture?

 

2.) can Miss B, ask the Store to review the CCTV camera records on the night of the crime to check who entered and left the store? what if the store refuse? what if the store says that the CCTV does not make any recording?

 

3.) since PNR does not have any CCTV cameras installed on their stations and the tickets were always collected at the destination station, how can Miss B use the PNR ride as an evidence though she was alone when she boarded the train?

 

4.) can the bag be used as evidence to collect finger prints to check if Miss B ever touched the bag?

 

5.) was it right to detain an employee accused for stealing a personal belonging by its own company?

 

6.) what other move can Miss B take other than seek legal help to clear her name?

 

 

i would appreciate your replies to this inquiry... (this really happened)

seems this would make for a bloody case if ever this is taken to court.

would you consider 1 year of service for every PhP 100,000 worth of

training as reasonable?

 

i think it would have been better, though, if the length of service is

pro-rated to the employee's current salary.

 

tia again!
