Question juridique clé
Whether an employee must continue to offer work after an invalid or untimely notice of termination to preserve the wage claim.
Solution extraite
It depends on the circumstances. If the employee knew that the notice was defective, he must protest and continue to offer performance unless such an offer would obviously be futile.
Motifs extraits
The protective purpose of mandatory notice rules would be undermined if an employee who knows of the defect could rely only on general willingness to work. By contrast, a legally uninformed employee will often preserve wages by showing general readiness to work.
