Dismissal: when does the expiration period begin if the worker does not collect the burofax but does present a conciliation ballot?

Once the dismissal has been communicated by burofax to a worker, if within the period in which she could have
picked it up at the Post Office, it is proven that she presented the dismissal conciliation paper, this last date is
considered the notification of the dismissal and the action will not expire (TS 11 -1-22, EDJ 501039).
Although the TS does not rule on the cause of dismissal, since it does not consider a contradiction, it does resolve the non
-expiry of the dismissal action, citing the following reasons:

  1. When a burofax is not delivered and notice is left by the Post Office, there is no obligation to pick it up “ipso facto”, but rather you have to be within the deadlines set in the notice and its non-receipt
    cannot be equated to refusal .
  2. In the specific case, since the date of receipt of the burofax at the
    Correos was not recorded as a proven fact, in order to date the “dies a quo” of the computation of the expiration period of 20 days (computing
    backwards from the date of the request), to be on the date of filing of the
    conciliation ballot within the framework of the collection period, since this act, in addition, freezes the
    expiration period from that moment until its celebration.
