Employee’s Rights – Resignation – Holiday – Litigation procedure – Statute of Limitations – Documents – Travel Ticket – Termination of Employment
This case involved a claim by an employee who stated they had been forced to resign because they had not been allowed to take their holiday. A key point was whether requests for travel tickets and the employee's documents could be considered even though the case was outside the statute of limitations.
Background
An employee made a complaint against an employer before the court claiming that he was working for the employer and resigned because the employer failed to grant him his holiday. The employee requested the employer to pay compensation and the employee's entitlements. The Ministry referred the case to the court.
The court dismissed the case due to the statute of limitation.
The employee appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
