Arica vs. NLRC

“Waiting Time”

Facts:

! Petitioners Teofilo Arica et al filed a complaint against Standard Fruits Corporation (STANFILCO)
Philippines for allegedly not paying the workers for their assembly time which takes place every
work day from 5:30am to 6am.
! The assembly time consists of the following activities:
1. Roll call of the workers;
2. Getting their assignments from the foreman;
3. Filling out the Laborer’s Daily Accomplishment Report;
4. Getting tools and equipments from the stockroom; and
5. Going to the field to work.
! They contended that these activities are necessarily for private respondent’s benefit.
! The private respondent averred that the thirty-minute assembly time has been a long time company
practice, thus, not considered as waiting time.
! The LA dismissed the complaint. The LA agreed that the the thirty-minute assembly time long
practiced cannot be considered waiting time or work time and, therefore, not compensable.
! The NLRC upheld the decision of the LA for the same reason.

Issue:

! WON the 30-minute activity of the petitioners before the scheduled working time is compensable
under the Labor Code.

parties under Article IV, Section 3, of the Collective Bargaining Agreement cannot be considered as

Implementing the Labor Code.

! The thirty (30)-minute assembly is a deeply-rooted, routinary practice of the employees, and the
proceedings attendant thereto are not infected with complexities as to deprive the workers the time
to attend to other personal pursuits. In short, they are not subject to the absolute control of the
company during this period, otherwise, their failure to report in the assembly time would justify the
company to impose disciplinary measures.

! Furthermore, their houses are situated right on the area where the farm are located, such that after
