Practice question
An overseas worker seeks assistance with an employment money claim. A desk refuses solely because DO249-25 supposedly excludes all OFW issues after creation of DMW. No particular listed exception or special arbitral issue is asserted. What does Rule II expressly state?
- All OFW money issues are categorically prohibited at every SEnA desk
- OFW employment issues including money claims continue to be accepted and acted upon by DOLE, NCMB and NLRC under the Rules, without prejudice to DMW services
- DMW’s existence automatically repeals the text
- Only domestic employment may ever be assisted
- Only a foreign court can receive a request for assistance
