A money claim by a worker against the employer or vice-versa is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the labor arbiter only if there is a “reasonable causal connection” between the claim asserted and employee-employer relations. Only if there is such a connection with the other claims can the claim for damages be considered as arising from employer-employee relations. Absent such a link, the complaint will be cognizable by the regular courts. (Philippine Airlines, Inc. vs. Airline Pilots Association, G.R. No. 200088, February 26, 2018)
