Practice question
A company acknowledges that a resigned employee has cleared every actual accountability. It promises final pay only after ninety days under a new internal rule, despite a binding agreement requiring release within ten days. It invokes management prerogative and Milan as complete defenses. Which is best?
- Any later internal rule overrides an agreement
- The more favorable ten-day agreement governs; no outstanding accountability supports the asserted clearance defense
- Milan abolished all agreed release periods
- Final pay is discretionary after resignation
- The employee must wait indefinitely for a board resolution
