Practice question
A claim seeks only SSS maternity benefits under the social-insurance statute, not an employer’s separate contractual payment or dismissal relief. A claimant invokes Article 224(a)(6) solely because the amount is large. What issue controls?
- The express social-security and maternity-benefit exclusions from that general category
- The amount automatically overrides every subject-matter limit
- All maternity benefits are CBA damages
- The claimant may create jurisdiction by choosing a label
- Only the payroll frequency matters
Legal references
- RA 6715, Section 9, Labor Code Article 224 (formerly 217): https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra1989/ra_6715_1989.html
