Supreme Court dismisses appeal, ruling employee-initiated termination without notice does not trigger employer dismissal consequences for future employment.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Mariana M. against the Lower Appellate Court's decision awarding him compensation for early contract termination. The court found that while the Labor Code creates a legal fiction equating certain employee-initiated terminations to employer dismissals, this fiction applies only to the immediate legal consequences, not to future employment scenarios. Consequently, the court held that the employee's subsequent employment relationship with the successor company was not automatically affected by the specific termination method used in the previous role.
