Practice question
A worker is temporarily unreachable during an evacuation and later presents evidence of the emergency and requests to resume work. Management calls the temporary silence an irrevocable overt act of abandonment without addressing the explanation. What inquiry is necessary?
- Whether both unjustified absence and clear deliberate severance intent are actually proved
- Silence during any emergency conclusively ends employment
- Only management’s chosen label matters
- A request to return is necessarily an act of desertion
- Every evacuation legally counts as resignation
