Questão jurídica principal
Whether the dismissal notice was received only after the employee returned from vacation, delaying the end of notice period
Decisão extraída
The employee was found to have received the notice on 11 August 2003, at the end of his vacation.
Fundamentação extraída
The appellate court's factual finding on receipt bound the Federal Supreme Court; the employer's proof complaint under Art. 8 CC was moot once the fact was established.
