Labor & Employment Law Lawyer in Quezon City
We represent Quezon City employers and employees before the labor arbiters covering the northern sector of the National Capital Region and at Department of Labor and Employment conferences — illegal dismissal, money claims, redundancy and retrenchment, and labor standards compliance.
A dispute involving a Quezon City workplace normally begins with a Single Entry Approach conference at the Department of Labor and Employment before it can proceed to the National Labor Relations Commission. That first conference is the cheapest opportunity to resolve the matter, and it is often mishandled because employers send someone without authority to settle. We attend, or prepare the person who does, so the opportunity is not wasted.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I file a labor case if I work in Quezon City?
With the arbitration branch of the National Labor Relations Commission covering the workplace, usually after a Single Entry Approach conference at the Department of Labor and Employment.
How long do I have to file an illegal dismissal case?
Illegal dismissal claims must generally be filed within four years, while money claims under the Labor Code prescribe in three years. Filing earlier is always better because evidence and witnesses fade.
What does an employer need before dismissing someone for cause?
A written notice specifying the acts complained of, a real opportunity to explain and be heard, and a second written notice stating the decision and its basis. Missing either notice can make an otherwise valid dismissal costly.
