Can employees with pending cases resign?

When a person does something wrong, it’s only fair that we hold them accountable for what they did, right? But what if the person wants to wash themselves of responsibility or wants to escape the consequences of what they did?
This happens in work situations when a person is under investigation for a work violation, and suddenly, they say, “Sir, resign na lang po ako ako.” What then happens, what effect will it have on the pending case?
This is exactly what Angela N. is wondering about when she submitted this question on our website and she says:
“Attorney, how do we manage employees with pending admin cases who would like to resign while their case is still ongoing. Should the leaders/HR consider/accept the resignation? How would the HR/Leaders handle this?”
If you would like to know the answer as well, stick around as we talk about your options.

Hello guys. Do you know if companies in the Philippines have the right to penalise with money you if you resign before one year?

[@Psygnosis]

What if the resignation was filed effective immediately and approved instead of waiting for 30 days? can they still be liable to the violations against the company's rules?

What if, the resignation was filed effective immediately while under investigation. Can an employer hold the resignation?

[@Sugar28382]

What if after 30 days sa pagpasa ng reisgnation letter wala pa din result sa pending case??. And the staff resigning is ndi na nag duty.. Dahil past 30 days na since ngpasa sya ng reisgnation.. Pwde bang kasuhan ng AWOL ang resigning staff??

[@trayals838]

Sir pang may pending kaso ba walang bonus ?

[@LegalGuidePhilippines]

Possible. Depende po sa company policy.

[@marycano7759]

If an employee got suspended for 30days, and she decided to resign, can an employee use the days of suspension as rendering days for her resignation?

[@LegalGuidePhilippines]

Depends on the employer if they allow it. But generally speaking, no po. Kasi the essence of turnover is so you can TURNOVER the work. Kung suspended po yung employee, no turnover may occur then. Best to ask the employer if they will consider it. Hope that helps!

If an employee was terminated in means of just causes
Is the company.
Can a company file a case against the terminated employee?
