Since the resignation is voluntary, the employee would not be eligible for certain benefits. The legality and ethicality of the practice is questionable and may be construed as constructive dismissal in some regions. The practice, which is not officially acknowledged, is common in Japan which has strong labor laws and a tradition of permanent employment.
