Jezreel, a nurse employed by CityGeneral Hospital, is dismissed for alleged misconduct. Jezreel files a complaint with the NLRC Regional Arbitration Branch seeking reinstatement and back wages. The complaint also contains a separate claim for damages arising from a non-employment contract between CityGeneral Hospital and a supplier of medical equipment. (a) Identify the controlling doctrine on NLRC jurisdiction in local employment cases and apply it to decide where the employment-related portion of the action should be filed. (b) If the action also asserts a separate civil claim not arising from the employment relationship, how should jurisdiction and the proceeding be handled?

Choose the Best Answer

The entire action should be filed in the regular trial court because the complaint includes a non-employment contract claim, which is outside NLRC's scope. The civil non-employment claim should be dismissed from the NLRC action and can only be pursued as a separate civil action in the regular court from the outset. The NLRC may assume jurisdiction over both claims if the non-employment claim is so intertwined with the employment dispute that it is deemed incidental to the employee's relief. The employment-related portion should be filed with the NLRC; the non-employment civil claim should be filed in the regular trial court, with the actions severed for separate proceedings.
