Key legal question
Whether the parties could withdraw or neutralize the effects of the dismissal and treat the employment as continuing.
Extracted holding
Yes. Because the employee disputed the dismissal and insisted on continuation, the employer could retract the dismissal; the appellate court correctly treated the employment relationship as continuing.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the general rule of irrevocability of a termination declaration yields where the recipient does not rely on finality and expressly rejects the dismissal while insisting on the contract's continuation.
