Practice question
A firm faces falling orders. It posts a notice announcing an indefinite reduction of workdays and says the posting proves mutual agreement and compliance with all DA 02 s. 2009 requirements. No employee consultation or agreement occurred, and it did not notify the DOLE Regional Office. Which assessment is sound?
- Posting alone establishes all required consent.
- Economic difficulty removes the Advisory's conditions.
- A posted schedule automatically constitutes DOLE notification.
- The employer cannot rely on the Advisory while disregarding its voluntary, temporary and notification framework.
- Every flexible arrangement is unlawful even when conditions are met.
