Practice question
A worker proves salary arrears under a two-year overseas contract. During that term the principal substituted lower-paid terms abroad. The recruiter relies solely on the substituted paper, its lack of daily workplace control and the existence of insurance to deny responsibility. No independent new post-expiry contract is involved. Which conclusion follows?
- All three facts automatically release the recruiter
- None of these assertions alone defeats the statutory solidary liability for the established covered claim
- The worker may recover the same arrears twice in full
- The statute applies only before the worker leaves the Philippines
- Only a worker’s union may invoke the liability
