4. Illegal Dismissal, Contract Expired

For humanitarian reasons, a bank hired several handicapped workers to count and sort out currencies. Their employment contract was for six (6) months. The bank terminated their employment on the ground that their contract has expired prompting them to file with the Labor Arbiter a complaint for illegal dismissal. Will their action prosper? 5%

IV.

The action will not prosper. Since the employment contract was only for six months, the bank can validly dismiss the workers after the expiration of said period. So long as the period was knowingly and voluntarily agreed upon by the parties, the employment contract should be upheld.
