Quiz number: 3 Title of Lesson: TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

1. Differentiate Termination and End of Employment. (5 points)

End of employment, in my understanding, is the same as termination when you are unemployed. The
sole distinction between both is that at termination, they have the right to fire you, whereas at
employment's conclusion, known as retirement, your employment is complete. An employee's time
working for a corporation comes to an end when their employment is terminated. Termination may take
place voluntarily, like when a worker decides to leave on their own. When a business reduces staff,
terminates workers, or initiates layoffs, this is known as an involuntary termination.

2. Explain your insights about wrongful termination and state legal basis upon identifying it. (15
points)
Wrongful termination occurs when they fire you illegally. That can mean discrimination, harassment,
retaliation, or breach of contract. According to Article 282 of the Labor Code, an employer can terminate
an employee for just cause, which could be any of the following:serious misconduct or willful
disobedience by the employee of the lawful orders of his employer or representative in connection with
his work;gross and habitual neglect by the employee of his duties;fraud or willful breach by the
employee of the trust reposed in him by his employer or duly authorized representatives;commission of
a crime or offense by the employee against the person of his employer, any immediate member of his
family, or his duly authorized representatives; and other similar causes.

3. Explain what backpay and final pay are and the conditions upon receiving financial grants.
According to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), back pay (otherwise known as last pay
or final pay) refers to the total monetary compensation that an employer must pay a former employee,
regardless of the cause of separation from the company. Back pay is, by definition, the last cash
transaction between the employer and employee after the latter’s exit. Any resigned or terminated
employee, regardless of the cause of separation from the company, is eligible to receive back pay,
subject to company policy, internal practices, or agreement with the employer.
