On such refusal, <strong>the employer<\/strong>, in a notice sent to the same employee, <strong>acknowledged<\/strong> <strong>his intention to resign from employment<\/strong>. Against such dismissing measure, <strong>the worker filed suit<\/strong>, deeming the measure illegitimate as it had been <strong>given verbally<\/strong>.

Therefore, the <strong>refusal<\/strong> of the worker to be assigned to another place, <strong>in the presence of a legitimate transfer<\/strong>, appears <strong>indicative<\/strong> of his will <strong>to no longer work<\/strong>, a circumstance that excludes any instance of verbal dismissal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By judgment no. 6265, published on 31 March 2016, the Court of Cassation has sanctioned the principle whereby an employee refusing to transfer may be considered as resigning from employment.
