What is the required procedure if an employee wishes to resign voluntarily without any just cause attributable to the employer?
An employee has the right to voluntarily end the employer-employee relationship even without a just cause. To do so legally, the employee must serve a written notice of their resignation to the employer. This written notice must be given at least one month in advance of their intended last day of work. If the employee fails to provide this required notice, the employer may hold the employee liable for damages. This standard resignation procedure is governed by Article 300 Labor Code of the Philippines. “ART. 300. Termination by Employee. – (a) An employee may terminate without just cause the employee-employer relationship by serving a written notice on the employer at least one (1) month in advance. The employer upon whom no such notice was served may hold the employee liable for damages.” 02-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
