</div>The Complainant alleged that his
appointment was terminated by Respondent without the payment of his salary and
benefits even though Management authorized payments.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>COMPLAINANT'S CASE:<o:p></o:p>According to Complainant, he was employed
as a factory hand by Respondent in June 1992. This was a temporary basis until
his appointment was terminated on May 28, 2002.<o:p></o:p>Complainant stated that in the letter
terminating his appointment management advised that the accountant should pay
his salary for May 2002 and any other entitlements due him. When complainant
contacted the accountant he was told that there was nothing for him.<o:p></o:p>The
Complainant therefore feels that his rights have been trampled upon and wants
the Commission to assist him claim his benefits.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>RESPONDENT'S CASE:<o:p></o:p>In their response to Complainant's
petition, Respondents stated that Complainant's appointment was terminated
because of his poor attitude towards work. This was after he had received three
warning letters. His appointment was therefore terminated in accordance with
Article 22(b) of their Collective Bargaining Agreement.<o:p></o:p>Respondent further stated that Complainant
was re-employed within weeks of his dismissal by their sister Company
Interplast Limited.<o:p></o:p>OBSERVATION:<o:p></o:p>In
his observation to the Comment's of Respondent, Complainant stated that all he
was concerned about was clause/sentence in the letter terminating his
appointment which requested the Accountant to pay his benefits which he refused
to pay.<o:p></o:p>
