Court dismissed employee's claim for reinstatement and compensation due to gross negligence in reporting leave and abandoning work.

The court dismissed the plaintiff's lawsuit seeking reinstatement and damages after the employer terminated his employment for cause. The plaintiff argued that the school director unreasonably accepted a leave request without confirmation, while the employer contended the employee failed to follow the work regulation by not contacting the director. The court ruled that the employee's failure to report his absence and subsequent absence from work constituted gross negligence and abandonment of duty, justifying the termination.
