Answer:

Thank you for sending your question to FDVN Law Firm (“ FDVN ”). For the consulting requests of customers, after studying the relevant legal regulations, FDVN has some exchanges as follows:

According to Point c, Clause 2, Article 35 of the Labor Code 2019, an employee has the right to unilaterally terminate a labor contract without prior notice if:  he/she is maltreated, assaulted, physically or verbally insulted by the employer in a manner that affects the employee’s health, dignity or honor; is forced to work against his/her will ";

Thus, based on the above provisions, in case your boss has insulted you, affecting your honor and dignity, you can completely quit your job without having to advance notice under labor law. However, you should also note that to avoid a dispute about the termination of the contract, you should collect evidence such as audio recordings, video recordings, diagnoses or conclusions of doctors related to your disease; ... to prove that your honor and dignity have been violated, affecting your psyche and health.

If the unilateral termination of the labor contract is legal, you will be entitled to the following regimes:

1. Paid salary:

• The salary as the basis for calculation of severance allowance shall be the average salary of the last 06 months under the employment contract before the termination.

3. Receive unemployment benefits:

When fully meeting the conditions as prescribed in Article 49 of the Employment Law 2013, the employee will be entitled to the monthly unemployment allowance according to the following formula:

In which: the unemployment benefit period is determined according to the number of months of unemployment insurance premium payment:

• Pay unemployment insurance for full 12 - 36 months: Enjoy 03 months of allowance;
