labor case, Position Paper, Reply, and Rejoinder are submissions that require
understanding of basic legal technicalities. For companies or employers that
cannot afford the services of a counsel, this can be a nightmare without any
template or reference.

with the basic laws and allegations. Thus, a template usually supplements
this making the company able to file the Position Paper even without the
engagement of a counsel. With mastery of facts of the case, basic labor
laws, sense of justice, common sense, and this template, any employer who
intends to defend against a labor suit, with conviction to obtain justice, may
successfully file an acceptable Position Paper.
This template is intended for use by employer / company that is not
represented by a lawyer in the filing of Position Paper (PP). This
contemplates companies that cannot afford full legal service or legal
representation and has to defend itself in a labor case.

closure or cessation of operation involving a company’s fishing vessel and
