Going to town to eat peaches.
The up sentence indicates there was money available to go shopping, etc.
If there was no money to spend, they used: Go to town and watch the people eat peaches.

離職 相關事項 17 四月, 2008

離職證明書用途:
一般是為了下一份工作要加入勞健保使用.
若你進入的公司是百大或千大企業就是必備的繳交文件.
看一下公司的離職交接單文件上，是否有勾選離職證明書選項，可以勾選提出需求。
若離職交接單文件沒有相關事項，就必須自己主動要求。
勞基法第十九條規定，勞動契約終止時，勞工如請求發給服務證明書，雇主或其代理人不得拒絕。雇主違反不發給者，依勞基法第七十九條規定，可處二千元以上二萬元以下罰鍰。
如遇老闆不放人，一到離職日，你還是可以走人，只要將應移交公司之物品與已完成及未完成的工作，製作移交清冊一式二份，自己留一份，一份交代給同事。不需教會新進人員，因新進人員訓練屬於職能訓練。
如果沒人可以交代，可以郵局存證信函雙掛號郵寄給他，也算是完成交接。
勞工離職不需老闆同意，只要遵守預告期間規定以及辦好離職交接手續，離職日期一到就可以離開。
工作滿三年以上，需一個月前提出(一個月是含例假日)！！
可以再諮詢縣市政府勞工局協助處理。
