    CATAN VS NLRC

    GR. NO. 77279


    APRIL 15, 1988
    FACTS:
    The Petitioner, a duly licensed recruitment agency, as agent of Ali and Fahd Shabokshi
    Group, a Saudi Arabian firm, recruited private respondent to work in Saudi Arabia as a
    steel man. The contract was automatically renewed when private respondent was not
    repatriated by his Saudi employer but instead was assigned to work as a crusher plant
    operator. On March 30, 1983, while he was working as a crusher plant operator, private
    respondent's right ankle was crushed under the machine he was operating. On
    September 9, 1983, he returned to Saudi Arabia to resume his work. On May 15,1984,
    he was repatriated. Upon his return, he had his ankle treated for which he incurred
    further expenses.
    ISSUE:
    WON this was grounds for cancellation or suspension of license or authority of M. S.
    Catan Placement Agency.
    HELD:
    Yes, Power of the agency to sue and be sued jointly and solidarily with the principal or
    foreign-based employer for any of the violations of the recruitment agreement and the
    contracts of employment.[Section 10(a) (2) Rule V, Book I, Rules to Implement the Labor
    Code. The Court ruled that a recruitment agency was solidarily liable for the unpaid
    salaries of a worker it recruited for employment in Saudi Arabia. Even if indeed petitioner
    and the Saudi principal had already severed their agency agreement at the time private
    respondent was injured, petitioner may still be sued for a violation of the employment
    contract because no notice of the agency agreement's termination was given to the
    private respondent.
