But if the worker was also supporting his mother, you should also give something.

I agree that you should review your options and the SSS benefits that the worker was entitled to. Sayang, dapat may workplace insurance din yun, kahit contractual labor.


Here are the developments:

Our request for the birth certificate of the deceased and the birth certificate of the child has not been submitted to us.

The victim's mother agreed for the settlement as follows: 60% to her and 40% to her grandson.

Do you think this is already OK?
