A private manufacturing firm in Bacolod City employing about 420 workers is alleged by a wage earner to have underpaid the minimum wage for the last six months and to have failed to pay the 13th month pay. The employee files a wage-claim with the DOLE Regional Office; a fact-finding investigation is conducted and the Regional Director issues a decision ordering the employer to pay back wages and penalties. The employer challenges the DOLE decision, contending that the NLRC has exclusive jurisdiction over wage-claims and that the DOLE decision is void. Which of the following statements correctly describes the governing doctrine on forum jurisdiction and the proper recourse for the aggrieved party?

Choose the Best Answer

The National Conciliation and Mediation Board (NCMB) handles wage claims instead of DOLE or NLRC. The DOLE Regional Director has jurisdiction to conduct a fact-finding investigation and issue a wage-claim decision; the NLRC has exclusive appellate jurisdiction over DOLE RD decisions in wage-claim cases. The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction to review DOLE RD wage-claim decisions. The NLRC has jurisdiction only over termination; wage claims are outside its ambit.
