This case has been cited 1 times or more.

BRION, J.
While the CA agreed with the LA and the NLRC that Macasio was a task basis employee, it nevertheless found Macasio entitled to his monetary claims following the doctrine laid down in Serrano v. Severino Santos Transit.[23] The CA explained that as a task basis employee, Macasio is excluded from the coverage of holiday, SIL and 13th month pay only if he is likewise a "field personnel." As defined by the Labor Code, a "field personnel" is one who performs the work away from the office or place of work and whose regular work hours cannot be determined with reasonable certainty. In Macasio's case, the elements that characterize a "field personnel" are evidently lacking as he had been working as a butcher at David's "Yiels Hog Dealer" business in Sta. Mesa, Manila under David's supervision and control, and for a fixed working schedule that starts at 10:00 p.m.
