Question 9

2025 Bar · Labor Law · 1 sub-question

9. X, a cashier at ABC Mart, filed a complaint for illegal dismissal with prayer for reinstatement and payment of full backwages against ABC Mart. X alleged that one day, ABC Mart told her not to return to work anymore, thus, she was deemed to have been unlawfully dismissed. During the proceedings, ABC Mart countered that it was X who abandoned her post. Both the labor arbiter and the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) found, however, that what happened between X and ABC Mart was a mere misunderstanding and there was no dismissal or abandonment to speak of. Based on these findings, is X entitled to reinstatement and payment of full backwages? Decide with reason(s).
