Practice question
An employer establishes valid proof that its payroll advice covering the disputed periods was transmitted to and received by the employees’ crediting bank. The employees insist that they can remain entirely silent because the employer originally bore the payment burden. Which is best under PAL v.Ahmee?
- The burden of evidence can shift; employees must substantiate the asserted noncrediting after the employer supplies the required bank-receipt proof
- The employer’s proof can never affect evidentiary duties
- Any self-prepared payroll, even unsent, has the same effect
- The employees automatically lose regardless of contrary account records
- The bank may conclusively decide every labor issue
