Practice question
An employer withholds an admittedly due wage claim in gross and evident bad faith. The court identifies both a relevant wage-action category and that bad-faith refusal as supported grounds. Claimant demands two complete identical fee recoveries for the same legal work merely because two exceptions apply. Which is sound?
- Each exception automatically creates another full identical award.
- Multiple grounds do not themselves justify duplicating the same fee damage.
- Every fee must be exactly one peso.
- Bad faith eliminates reasonableness.
- The wage claim may not include any fee request.
