The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a termination notice with a retroactive date violates labor law if the employee receives it in time. The plaintiff argued that the employer's notice, dated April 8 but delivered on April 13, violated statutory requirements for immediate termination. The court held that the law requires the notice to reach the employee in time for them to understand its content, not that the stated date must be the actual delivery date.
