You did not state where you previously file an appeal.if you filed the appeal before the NLRC and the decision is not favorable to you by way of dismissing the appeal then you have to file a motion for reconsideration (MR) first. Once the NLRC denies the same then you have 60 days from receipt of the order denying the MR to elevate the case before the Court of Appeals by petition for certiorari. If you are not successful on the said appeal then you can elevate the case before the Supreme Court within 15 days from receipt of the decision of the Court of Appeals by way of petition for review.
