An employer doesn’t need to hold a hearing as a “formal ceremony” where the employee agrees to terminate the employment

An employee and her manager argued over a professional matter, after which the employee told the manager to terminate her employment if he is dissatisfied with her performance, as was done.

The Labor Court rejected the employee’s claim for compensation due to lack of a hearing prior to termination and held that under circumstances where an employee actually agrees to terminate the employment, there is no obligation on the employer to hold a hearing only as a "formal ceremony."  The employee knew that the possibility to terminate her employment was being considered, she was given many opportunities to address the complaints about her, but did not change her ways. When the employee told the manager to terminate her employment and he agreed to do so, the employee should not be awarded compensation for failing to hold a hearing prior to her termination.
