Practice question
A worker gives only a same-day resignation because she prefers a new job, with no statutory just cause and no waiver of notice by the employer. The employer declares that Article300 automatically transfers her entire earned salary and personal savings to the company, without proof or adjudication of damages. Which is best?
- All personal savings automatically belong to the employer
- Every resignation is a crime
- Lack of notice erases every earned wage by operation of law
- No notice-related consequence can ever arise
- The Code permits a damages claim for failure to give the prescribed notice, but does not establish the asserted automatic unlimited forfeiture
