Hi attorney, I worked for a financial call center, i recently resigned immediately and was approved and cleared by the company. However what surprises me is the “Clawback policy” that I was not aware of neither does it appear specifically in my.contract. Clawback means they can still get The money they should pay me if it causes damages to them. Not rendering the 30 day means they will deduct from the salary they owe me 30 days from my last pay.
Is this valid in Philippines? Can they take 30 days deduction from the last pay?
Good pm atty

Hi – I just need your feedback on this:
Is it illegal for someone to record a conversation at work?
I was one of the participants and I informed the others that I will record so I have a basis when I need to go back to details.
The two other participants did not disagree nor agreed, we just went on with the conversation and throughout such, they know that the whole thing is recorded.
The recording will not be used for any other purpose, it is just something that I can use if I need to get specific details.
Thanks.
