Question juridique clé
Whether the employee retained wage claims for January and February 2003 despite not offering his work after the dismissal.
Solution extraite
No. Even if the notice period had extended to the end of February 2003, the employee had to offer his services; the lower court found he did not, and that factual finding was binding.
Motifs extraits
A wage claim during an extended notice period requires work performance or at least a clear offer of performance, unless the employer would have rejected performance in any event. The appellate court found no binding basis to overturn the factual finding that such rejection was not established.
