C-E CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION v. NLRC
PANGANIBAN, J.
Under the Industrial Peace Act,[19] the Court of Industrial Relations (CIR) had wide discretion in granting or disallowing payment of back wages to an illegally dismissed employee. The CIR also had the implied power to mitigate or reduce back wages,[20] depending on several circumstances. Among these circumstances are the employers' good faith,[21] the employees' employment in other establishments during the period of illegal dismissal, and the probability that the employees could have realized earnings if they had only exercised due diligence in searching for outside employment.[22]
