COMLAINANT EMLOYEE O! E%RESS
IS A REG"LAR RESONDENT $GO
Complainant is a regular employee of 8F$ E"press! )t cannot be gainsaid that Complainant &as recruited, engaged, and assigned as a cler*IscannerIsorter in Respondent 8F$ E"press, a courier solutions and e"press deliery serice proider, and &as tas*ed to scan and sort incoming and outgoing documentsIitems &hich are processed for distribution and deliery to desired destinations all oer the Philippines! #e is made to perform a 6ob &hich is usually necessary or desirable in the usual business or trade of 8F$ E"press! Complainant has been performing his assigned tas*s continuously &ith 8F$ E"press as early as 80 Aebruary 8::3!
rticle 89: of the Labor Code is ery e"plicit, to &it'
(Art. $0. Re23ar a( a2a3 e783o97e(t. 5he proisions of &ritten agreement to the contrary not&ithstanding and regardless of the oral agreement of the parties, an employment shall be deemed to be regular &here the employee has been engaged to perform actiities &hich are usually necessary or desirable in the usual business or trade of the employer, e"cept &here the employment has been @"ed for a speci@c pro6ect or underta*ing the completion or termination of &hich has been determined at the time of the engagement of the employee or &here the &or* or serice to be performed is seasonal in nature and the employment is for the duration of the season!
28
n employment shall be deemed to be casual if it is not coered by the preceding paragraph' Proided, that any employee &ho has rendered at least one year of serice, &hether such serice is continuous or bro*en, shall be considered a regular employee &ith respect to the actiity in &hich he is employed and his employment shall continue &hile such actiity e"ists!;
#ence, haing been in the continuous employ of the Respondent 8F$ E"press for more than eight 94 years, prior to his illegal suspension and constructie dismissal, Complainant, by the mandate of la&, has already attained a regular status in the company and, undoubtedly, must en6oy his security of tenure!
COMLAINANTS CLEARLY ILLEGAL
DISMISSAL
IS
Complainant &as illegally dismissed! Heing a regular employee as de@ned by rticle 89: of the Labor Code, he cannot be dismissed e"cept for 6ust or authorized causes proided for by the Labor Code! De@nitely, he cannot be dismissed on the mere &hims and caprices of the Respondents as aderted to aboe! 5his is so plain to be mista*en! Complainant, in his /inumpaang /alaysay, clearly demonstrated that, prior to his @ling of this instant case, he had been the ictim of discrimination, disdain and insensibility perpetrated by his o&n unit leader, Respondent Eric Folpe! 5he bullying behaiour of his superior did not only harm him psychologically but it li*e&ise inicted, in him, fear for his 6ob security! 5his situation &as in fact e"acerbated by the inde@nite suspension meted on him by Eric Folpe despite the absence of any alid ground that 6usti@es the same!
20
Complainant did not deliberately intend to enses he did not commit! )t is settled that constructie dismissal e"ists &here there is cessation of &or* because +continued employment is rendered impossible, unreasonable or unli*ely, as an o>er inoling a demotion in ran* or a diminution in pay; and other bene@ts! ptly called a dismissal in disguise or an act amounting to dismissal but made to appear as if it &ere not, constructie dismissal may, li*e&ise, e"ist if an act of clear discrimination, insensibility, or disdain by an employer becomes so unbearable on the part of the employee that it could foreclose any choice by him e"cept to forego his continued employment . COMLAINANT ROCESS.
AS
DENIED
D"E
ssuming, for the sa*e of argument, that Respondents hae grounds to suspend inde@nitely the Complainant, still, Complainant &as denied due process! #e &as 6ust instantly and summarily suspended inde@nitely right then and there! #e &as not een a>orded his right to e"plain and defend his side against any charges hurled against him! )n fact, he &as 6ust plainly been forced to leae his 6ob! 5his is a classic e"ample of an e"ceedingly brutal denial of due process! 5he facts are so &eighty to be oerloo*ed! s can be clearly deduced from Complainant?s Sin#mpaang Salaysay , Respondents did not een properly charge him for any iolation of a particular company rule or regulation! Respondents did not conduct a single hearing so that the Complainant could defend himself or air his side on the charges the former are imputing against him!
2
5he Court, in Alert 'ecurity an Investi)ation A)ency vs. *asa+ilan et. Al. G.R. No. 12-7, 'epte/er 1, 2011, categorically pronounced' (s a rule, employment cannot be terminated by an employer &ithout any 6ust or authorized cause! No less than the 2193 Constitution in /ection 0, rticle 20 guarantees security of tenure for &or*ers and because of this, an employee may only be terminated for 6ust or authorized causes that must comply &ith the due process reer to i7i! " " " lthough &e recognize the right of employers to shape their o&n &or* force, this management prerogatie must not curtail the basic right of employees to security of tenure! 5here must be a alid and la&ful reason for terminating the employment of a &or*er! $ther&ise, it is illegal and &ould be dealt &ith by the courts accordingly! s stated in $ascon v. %ourt o Appeals?
2J
" " " 5he employer?s po&er to dismiss must be tempered &ith the employee?s right to security of tenure! 5ime and again &e hae said that the preseration of the lifeblood of the toiling laborer comes before concern for business pro@ts! Employers must be reminded to e"ercise the po&er to dismiss &ith great caution, for the /tate &ill not hesitate to come to the succor of &or*ers &rongly dismissed by capricious employers! Emphasis /upplied4! COMLAINANT IS CLEARLY ENTITLED TO ALL T'E MONEY CLAIMS 'EREIN CLAIMED INCL"DING DAMAGES, ATTORNEYS !EES, LITIGATION AND T'E LIE E%ENSES INCL"DING COST O! T'E S"IT.
simple perusal of the Complaint and the Sin#mpaang Salaysay of herein Complainant reeals that Respondents hae iolated di>erent labor standard la&s! Considering that the Complainant is see*ing herein the satisfaction of simple money claims, Respondents are obligated to submit proofs of payment of such claims! $ther&ise, as a conse
Hesides, in this 6urisdiction, it is settled that, in cases of money claims asserted by its employees, the burden of proof is shifted to the employer, bearing in mind that it possesses all the necessary pieces of eidence to proe payment of such claims! 7hat is re
s a pro"imate result of Respondents? unla&ful acts as clearly aderted to aboe, Complainant su>ered untold miseries brought about by the sudden depriation of his only means of lielihood! #e, being the bread &inner of his family, &as unceremoniously left &ithout a source of income! #e &as thro&n out of the 6ob he faithfully performed for years because Respondents felt so po&erful that they could 6ust, at anytime, undermine Complainant?s security of tenure! ll the illegal and improident acts of the Respondents discussed aboe, &hich are part and parcel of their maleolent and anti-&or*ers inclination and attitudes, &ere motiated by ill-&ill and illicit intentions and committed &ith &ilful and eident bad faith! Merily, the Complainant is entitled to moral damages as proided for under rticles 8823 and 8821 in relation to rticle 82 and paragraph of rticle 08 of the Ciil Code of the Philippines! 5he foregoing proisions read as follo&s' *rticle 8823! oral damages include p$ysi%al s#&ering, mental ang#is$, fright, serio#s an'iety , besmirched reputation, wo#nded eelings, moral s$o%k, so%ial $#miliation, and similar in6ury! )$o#g$ in%apa*le o pe%#niary %omp#tation, moral damages may *e re%overed i t$ey are t$e pro'imate res#lt o t$e deendant+s wrong#l a%t or omission.
