Court Approach - Courts have consistently held that if termination is illegal, workers are entitled to reinstatement with continuity of service and partial or full back wages, depending on the specifics of each case.

Analysis and Conclusion

Reinstatement is not automatic and depends on procedural compliance and legality of termination. Courts uphold workers' rights under the Industrial Disputes Act, emphasizing that illegal termination warrants both reinstatement and back wages, ensuring protection for daily wage workers against unfair dismissals.
