v Sanchez
Topic: Constructive dismissal/Preventive suspension
FACTS:
ISSUE:
HELD:
YES. Sanchez was illegally terminated because she was denied due
process. Administrative investigation was not conducted by
Robinsons. She was instantly reported to the police and suffered for
two weeks in jail.
The court held that respondent was constructively dismissed when
she was strip searched and promptly sent to jail. It was
unreasonable for Robinsons to have expected her to report to work
when it was rendered unlikely and definitely impossible to do so.
As to the issue of reinstatement, the court held that when it is not a
viable solution separation may be resorted to.
