"ARTICLE VIII
826 — 900 7 7
901 — 925 8 8
926 — 1,050 9 9
1,051 — 1,125 10 10

1,201 — 1,275 12 12

Upon its renewal on April 15, 1989, the provisions for sick
leave with pay benefits were reproduced under Sections
1 and 3, Article VIII of the new CBA, but the coverage of
the said benefits was expanded to include the "present
Regular Extra Labor Pool as of the signing of this
Agreement." Section 3, Article VIII, as revised, provides,
thus:
826 — 900 7 7
901 — 925 8 8
926 — 1,050 9 9
1,051 — 1,125 10 10
1,126 — 1,200 11 11
1,201 — 1,275 12 12
1,276 — 1,350 13 13
1,351 — 1,425 14 14
1,426 — 1,500 15 15
The conditions for the availment of the herein vacation
and sick leaves shall be in accordance with the above
provided Sections 1 and 2 hereof, respectively."
SO ORDERED."
Petitioner-company disagreed with the aforementioned
ruling of public respondent, hence, the instant petition.
It must be noted that the 1989 CBA has two (2) sections
on sick leave with pay benefits which apply to two (2)
distinct classes of workers in petitioner's company,
namely: (1) the regular non-intermittent workers or
those workers who render a daily eight-hour service to
the company and are governed by Section 1, Article VIII
of the 1989 CBA; and (2) intermittent field workers who
are members of the regular labor pool and the present
regular extra labor pool as of the signing of the
agreement on April 15, 1989 or those workers who have
irregular working days and are governed by Section 3,
Article VIII of the 1989 CBA.
SO ORDERED.

DECISION
PUNO, J.:
12 months
where:
c) Night premium;
RULE 43
In the light of the clear ruling of this Court, there is, thus
no reason for any mistake in the construction or
application of the law. When petitioner Sevilla Trading
still included over the years non-basic benefits of its
employees, such as maternity leave pay, cash equivalent
of unused vacation and sick leave, among others in the
computation of the 13th-month pay, this may only be
construed as a voluntary act on its part. Putting the
blame on the petitioners payroll personnel is
inexcusable.
SO ORDERED.

Separate Opinions
PADILLA, J.,:
a) ...
b) "Employer" includes any person acting directly or
indirectly in the interest of an employer in relation to an
employee and shall include the Government and all its
branches, subdivision and instrumentalities, all
government-owned or controlled corporations and
institutions, as well as non-profit private institutions, or
organizations.
In an employer-contractor-employee relationship, it is
clear that the contractor is the real employer and,
therefore, responsible to his workers for their wages.
However, should such contractor fail or renege on his
said obligation, to whom will the unpaid worker have
recourse? The second paragraph of Article 106 resolves
the seeming dilemma of the workers by providing that
the EMPLOYER, (i.e., the project owner) shall be solidarily
liable to such workers to the extent of the work
performed by them, meaning that the EMPLOYER shall
solidarily answer for the payment of wages
corresponding to the amount of work undertaken by the
contractor's employees in the project. This is the second
situation contemplated by Article 106.

In the case at bench, although [respondents] were
engaged to perform activities which are usually
necessary or desirable in the usual business or trade of
private respondent, it is apparent, however, that their
services were engaged by [petitioner] only for a definite
period. [Petitioner’s] nature of business and operation
has its peaks. In order to meet the demands during peak
seasons they necessarily have to engage the services of
workers to work only for a particular season. In the case
of [respondents], when they were deployed by CAMPCO
with [petitioner] and were assigned by the latter at its
cannery department, they were aware that they will be
working only for a certain duration, and this was made
known to them at the time they were employed, and
they agreed to the same.

Neither can this Court apply herein the ruling of the NLRC
in the previous case involving petitioner and the
individual workers they used to hire before the advent of
the cooperatives, to the effect that the employment of
these individual workers were not regular, but rather,
were valid "term employments," wherein the employer
and employee knowingly and voluntarily agreed to
employment for only a limited or specified period of
time. The difference between that case and the one
presently before this Court is that the members of
CAMPCO, including respondents, were not informed, at
the time of their engagement, that their employment
shall only be for a limited or specified period of time.
There is absence of proof that the respondents were
aware and had knowingly and voluntarily agreed to such
term employment. Petitioner did not enter into
individual contracts with the CAMPCO members, but
executed a Service Contract with CAMPCO alone.
Although the Service Contract of 1993 stated that it shall
be for a specific period, from 1 July to 31 December 1993,
petitioner and CAMPCO continued the service
arrangement beyond 1993. Since there was no written
renewal of the Service Contract,41 there was no further
indication that the engagement by petitioner of the
services of CAMPCO members was for another definite
or specified period only.
SO ORDERED.
