Legal Rights Regarding Resignation

Understanding Employee Rights

• An employee expresses a desire to resign but is being prevented from doing so, raising questions about the legality of such restrictions.

• The speaker references Article 3, Section 18 No. 2 of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom from involuntary servitude, emphasizing that employees can leave their jobs at any time.

• It is noted that while employees have the right to resign, they are legally required to provide at least one month’s advance notice unless specific conditions apply.

Conditions for Immediate Resignation

• Immediate resignation is permissible in cases of serious abuse by the employer, including severe insults or inhumane treatment.

• Other valid reasons for immediate resignation include criminal offenses against the employee or their family and other analogous causes; however, if an employer agrees, immediate resignation can also occur without these conditions.
