Practice question

- Similarity automatically repeals the specification rule.
- The rule’s additional express-specification requirement remains unsatisfied.
- Every voluntary act is a dismissal cause.
- No company policy can ever matter.
- The employer may create the missing rule retrospectively by assertion.
