</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>INTRODUCTION:<o:p></o:p>On
30th May 2001, the Commission received a letter from Konadu B. Raymond an
ex-employee of Messers Andrews Agencies Limited in which he made claim for
ex-gratia award and other entitlements against Messrs Andrews Agencies Limited.
The letter was dated 29th May 2001.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>THE COMPLAINANT'S CASE:<o:p></o:p>The
Complainant stated that he worked as an Accounts Officer with the Respondent
for eight years. He resigned on the 25th September 2000.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:

mso-border-shadow:yes">He
claimed that the Respondent was refusing to pay his entitlements. According to
him the entitlements amounted to ¢20,690,000.00 (Twenty Million, Six Hundred
and Ninety Thousand Cedis).<o:p></o:p>Further
to his letter, the Complainant explained in a discussion with parties on 12th
October 2001 that he worked with the Respondent without any leave vacation for
the eight years. He argued that he was entitled to be paid in lieu of leave
vacation (using prevailing salary rates) in addition to leave allowance of 75%
of his salary for each year served, ex-gratia award and a hand shake offer.<o:p></o:p>He
claimed all efforts to have the money paid had proven futile. He therefore
appealed to the Commission for assistance to collect the money.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>THE RESPONDENT'S CASE:<o:p></o:p>
