that the employer has the burden to prove that he paid the correct wages, the NLRC in
its Resolution[11] dated 24 September 2008 granted the motion for reconsideration

petition on the ground of failure on the part of Rapid Manpower to file a motion for
reconsideration of the 24 September 2008 Resolution of the NLRC granting De
Guzman's motion for reconsideration.
