Practice question
A separated worker requests a COE. The employer says it will consider the request only when it eventually completes final-pay computation. Which is best?
- The COE has its own three-day request-based issuance rule; final-pay processing does not automatically replace it
- Final-pay calculation always suspends every COE request indefinitely
- COEs are available only to pensioners
- A COE is the same as a quitclaim
- The employer may refuse because the worker resigned
