Practice question
An employer merely files an appeal from a wage order, without the prescribed undertaking and satisfactory sureties. Does filing alone stay the order?
- Yes, every appeal automatically stays it.
- Yes, because employers may unilaterally suspend statutory rates.
- No; Article 123 states that appeal alone does not stay the order.
- Only the number of affected workers determines a stay.
- The filing automatically repeals the order.
