The employee claimed entitlement to Php802,372.28 in unpaid commissions. In support of this claim, she attached certain self-prepared, albeit “meticulously detailed,” documents to her pleading. Should this claim be granted?
In Siroy v. Rudolf Lietz, Inc.,1G.R. No. 204013 (Notice), January 7, 2019 the Supreme Court denied the claim. According to the Court:
Siroy’s computation of unpaid commissions appears to be self-serving as the supporting documents she attached were all prepared by her. Inasmuch as her computation can easily be concocted or fabricated to suit her personal interest and purpose, Siroy’s bare claim that she is entitled to unpaid commissions by simply presenting unsubstantiated documents will not win her judicial approval.
