How can one really determine if it is resignation or illegal dismissal? Mae MaeDear Mae Mae,It is not very uncommon for employees to sever their employment relationships with their employers and this is commonly done through tendering of resignation. On the flip side of the coin, if the employer maintains that the employee resigned, it is of essence to establish that such resignation was done voluntarily. There is involuntary resignation due to the harsh, hostile, and unfavorable conditions set by the employer. It is a formal pronouncement or relinquishment of an office, with the intention of relinquishing the office accompanied by the act of relinquishment.
