Question on the Labor Codes Article 285

As it states:


Art. 285. Termination by employee.

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.

An employee may put an end to the relationship without serving any notice on the employer for any of the following just causes:

Serious insult by the employer or his representative on the honor and person of the employee;

Inhuman and unbearable treatment accorded the employee by the employer or his representative;

Commission of a crime or offense by the employer or his representative against the person of the employee or any of the immediate members of his family; and

Other causes analogous to any of the foregoing.


Can an employee request to be compensated for years of service and moral/nominal damages upon winning a case on the grounds of "Serious insult by the employer or his representative on the honor and person of the employee"?

Only if you ask for it when you file the case, present your evidence, and if the court agrees that you are entitled to it.

Thank you
