Practice question
An employer admits a worker was genuinely casual for a particular ancillary activity. She performs that same activity for six months, is recalled after a break for another seven months, and remains assigned to it while it continues. Each payroll form repeats “casual—no regularization.” No independent lawful ground for ending employment is asserted. Which is correct?
- The statutory proviso can confer regular status for that activity despite the label and broken service
- Payroll wording overrides Article 295
- Only the latest seven months may ever count
- The worker must become regular in every unrelated business of the employer
- Casual work can never become regular
Legal references
- Labor Code, Article 295, reproduced in Ditiangkin: https://lawphil.net/judjuris/juri2022/sep2022/gr_246892_2022.html
