Just like our local domestic house helpers who receive their wages directly
from their employers without any payslip or voucher to acknowledge
payment and receipt, we do not expect the case of herein complainant x x x
to be any different. It is, therefore, understandable that no payslip or payroll
could be presented by respondent agency. [34]
We find this NLRC view to be a fair and credible assessment of the employment
relationship between Barit and her Saudi employer, at least, in relation to the payment
of Barit's wages.
In sum, we hold that the NLRC committed no grave abuse of discretion in dismissing
the complaint. The CA thus erred in granting the petition for certiorari.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, the assailed Decision and Resolution of the Court
of Appeals are set aside, and the Decision of the NLRC dated August 28, 2006 is
REINSTATED.
SO ORDERED.
