I. Article 97 (Wages)
1. Songco et. al. v. NLRC, March 23, 1990

Facts: Private respondent filed an application seeking to terminate the services of
petitioners allegedly on the grounds of retrenchment due to financial losses.
However, petitioners denied such claims, saying that the company is not suffering
from any losses. They alleged that they are being dismissed because of their
membership in the union. In the end, petitioners no longer contest their dismissal.
The parties agreed that the sole issue to be resolved is the basis of the separation
pay which is due to petitioners.
Issue: Whether the earned sales commissions and allowances should be included
in the monthly salary of petitioners for the purpose of the computation of their
separation pay.
Ruling: YES. The law is explicit that commission is included in the definition of
the term “wage”. Commission is defined as the compensation or reward of an
agent, salesman calculated as a percentage on the amount of his transactions or on
the profit to the principal. Since the commissions in the present case were earned
Page 7 of 28

by actual market transactions attributable to petitioners these should be included in
their separation pay. In the computation thereof, what should be taken into account
is the average commissions earned during their last year of employment.
