Practice question
A worker faces a neutral, lawful instruction and ordinary disagreement, with no serious insult, inhuman treatment, crime or analogous grave cause established. The worker claims any unwelcome managerial statement authorizes immediate departure under Article 300(b). What is the correct limit?
- Every unwelcome statement is a serious insult
- The statutory serious grounds must be established; personal dislike alone is insufficient
- All notice requirements are optional in every case
- A neutral lawful instruction automatically proves a crime
- The employee’s description eliminates the statutory elements
