    The security guards at Don Mariano Marcos State University filed a complaint against their security provider, Alpha Investigation & Security Agency (AISA), for non-compliance with minimum wage laws. The Labor Arbiter ruled that both AISA and the University were jointly and severally liable for unpaid wages. AISA argued it should only be the University's responsibility. However, the court upheld the Labor Arbiter's decision, citing that under the Wage Rationalization Act, both the principal and contractor are jointly liable for non-payment of legally mandated wage increases.

    Alpha Investigation & Security Agency vs.

    NLRC

    Facts: Don Mariano Marcos State University gets its security services from AISA. Their security guards
    filed a complaint against AISA because of non-compliance with the minimum wage order. Labor Arbiter
    said the AISA and DMMSU is solidarily liable for the salary differential owed to the guards. AISA says that
    the increase should be paid by DMMSU.

    Issue: May the principal (AISA) of a security service agreement be held jointly and severally liable with the
    contractor (DMMSU) for non-payment of the minimum wage?

    Held: Yes. AISA is jointly & severally liable with DMMSU for the non-compliance with the wage increase.
    Section 6 of RA 6727, or the Wage Rationalization Act, says that the wage increases which are results of
    salary differential shall hold the principal & the contractor jointly and severally.

    Rule in statutory construction: in interpreting the meaning and scope of a term, there must be a careful
    review of the whole law, as well as the intention of the law. Legislative intent must be ascertained from a
    look of the whole statute, and not just a part or particular provision.
