circumstances beyond his control.<o:p></o:p>According
to the Complainant, he received a letter from the Headmistress of the school
that since he has been out of school for two weeks, the school will notified
the higher authorities.<o:p></o:p>The
Complainant alleged further that when he went to sign for his salary arrears,
he was told to write two letters requesting for the re-instat and payment of
arrears of salary which he did but the Respondent had not shown their readiness
and willingness to correct the anomaly to enable him access his salary arrears.<o:p></o:p>OBSERVATION<o:p></o:p>The Commission observed that the
Complainant has a right to demand his salary arrears.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>DECISION<o:p></o:p>In the light of the above, the Commission
directs that the Complainant be paid all salary arrears within 2 weeks from the
receipt of this decision.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
