Summary
When a relationship ends, it's best for the parties to pick themselves up and move on, but what if there are unsettled matters and unfinished things left undone? This also happens in work situations where an employee resigns or is terminated and yet they don't go through the clearance process. Walang closure, Attorney.
So just like this question from Angela N. who asks:
"With regard to the new policy released by the DOLE about final pay, which is labor advisory 6-2020, what if the employee did not complete his or her clearance due to AWOL and went back to get his final pay? Could we still release his final pay within 30 days after the effectivity date of his resignation? Even if he did not complete the 30 days? Isn't it unfair for the employer if we still release the final pay? How much can we deduct from the employee if he did not complete the 30 day turn over period?"
Now, if you feel the same way as Angela or you're in the same position, stick around as we tackle this topic.
