Were you illegally terminated from work?

If you were dismissed without valid cause and without due process under the Labor Code of the Philippines then your termination could have been illegal.

FACT CHECK:

1. Did your employer fail to prove a just or authorized cause such as serious misconduct, redundancy, or retrenchment?

2. Were you given proper notice and opportunity to be heard?

3. Were the reasons for termination unsupported, arbitrary, or not properly documented?

4. Was the reason for termination done in bad faith or in violation of the employee’s right to security of tenure?

Employees who are illegally dismissed are entitled to reinstatement, full backwages, and other damages as may be awarded by the National Labor Relations Commission.

On the other hand, a dismissal is valid if it is based on lawful grounds and proper procedure is strictly followed, including notice and hearing requirements.

If you believe you have been illegally dismissed—or if you are an employer facing a termination issue—seeking legal advice early is crucial.
