Acasual employee is only casual for one year. After one year, a casual employee automatically gets his regular status.

A Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between a multinational company and its collective bargaining agent, representing the company’s rank-and-file employees in Manila and Antipolo, expired in June 1998. The company and unions completed renegotiations of their CBA on 26 December 1998. Both parties signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), providing for salary increase as well as the “regularization of contractual, casual, and/or agency workers who have been working with [the company] for more than one year.” The MOA was incorporated to form part of the 1998-2001 CBA and was ratified by the employees of the company. Pursuant to the MOA, 61 casual, contractual, or agency employees were regularized and filled up vacant positions.
