BERSAMIN, J.:
 
A security guard placed on reserved or off-detail status is deemed constructively dismissed only if the status should last more than six months. Any claim of constructive dismissal must be established by clear and positive evidence.
 
The Case

The petitioner seeks the reversal of the decision promulgated March 1,  2011,[1] whereby the Court of Appeals (CA) dismissed its petition for certiorari and affirmed the decision of the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) dated March 16, 2010 finding it liable for the illegal dismissal of respondent security guards.[2]
