REPLY POSITION PAPER
(For the Complainant)
COMPLAINANT, by himself and unto to this Honorable
Office most respectfully submits this Reply to Respondent’s Position Paper, thus avers that:
1. Complainant denies the allegation of the
Respondents’ Position Paper in paragraph 3 alleging that the Corrective Preventive Action Request (CPAR) was not acted nor resolved. The proof of the scheduled plan and action was needed as proof of records or evidence and such must be acted with due process in the renewal of the ISO accreditation. Complainant reiterates that the records must be given to him, but despite the absence of said records, the Complainant resolved the said CPAR for the benefit and interest of the corporation. REPLY POSITION PAPER (COMPLAINANT) Michael D. Santos vs Will Decena & Associates, Inc. NLRC-NCR Case No. 06-09345-17
said this was acknowledged by the
Company’s HRD Assistant Mr. Jeric Cabildo. It is clear that Complainant did not fail to follow the instruction in the Memorandum issued by the Corporation.
3. Complainant denies paragraph 7 of the
Respondents’ Position Paper, Respondents act of withholding the Complainant’s salary compelled him to file his leave of absence as he was financially constraint to sustain his needs in going to and fro from work and also for his daily living as his only source of his income is his salary from the company.
4. Complainant denies paragraphs 10, 12, 13 and
14 of the Respondents’ Position Paper, he reported back to work but his deployment was withheld and he was told that by the HR that a Memo and a Show Cause Order/ Notice to Explain was sent to him, but in truth and in fact, no such thing was received by the Complainant. Instead, he was issued a Preventive Suspension.
The basis of issuing a preventive suspension is
found in Section 8 of Rule XXIII, Book V of the Omnibus Rules Implementing the Labor Code, as amended by Department Order No. 9, Series of 1997 which provides:
Section 8. Preventive suspension. The
“
employer may place the worker concerned under
preventive suspension only if his continued employment poses a serious and imminent threat to the life or property of the employer or of his co-workers.”
It can be seen that the issuance of the
Respondents of Preventive Suspension is REPLY POSITION PAPER (COMPLAINANT) Michael D. Santos vs Will Decena & Associates, Inc. NLRC-NCR Case No. 06-09345-17
the life and property that affects the company’s
operations.
5. Respondents’ allegation in paragraph 15 is
also denied having no basis in fact. The truth is that I was contacted by the Admin. Vice President of the Company who was then my boss way back 2012 and offered me to go back to the Company and offered me to work. This is a sufficient proof that I have a satisfactory performance and that I am of good moral attitude since I have established a good working relationship with the company which prompted them to rehire to work for them as Health and Safety Manager. The trust and confidence they have reposed in me is a clear indication and proof that I observe good conduct and attitude towards them and follows rules and instructions directed to me.
6. Complainant denies paragraphs 16 and 17 of
the Respondents’ Position Paper having committed serious violation of the Complainant’s statutory and constitutional right to due process for terminating the Complainant’s Probationary Employment.
In the case of Court in Abbott Laboratories et.al
vs. Alcaraz, G.R. No. 192571, July 23, 2013, a Probationary Employee, like a regular employee, enjoys security of tenure. However, in cases of probationary employment, aside from just or authorized causes of the employer to the employee at the time of the REPLY POSITION PAPER (COMPLAINANT) Michael D. Santos vs Will Decena & Associates, Inc. NLRC-NCR Case No. 06-09345-17
