middle of that year, he was seconded to the Standard Chartered Bank, Tanzania
until January 1999 when he was subsequently assigned to the Standard Chartered
Group in Zimbabwe.&nbsp; He left Zimbabwe in
2001.&nbsp; The Plaintiff/Appellant returned
from Zimbabwe only to realize that the Defendant/Respondent was not regularly
paying her contribution to the Social Security Scheme for the benefit of the
Plaintiff/Appellant during his retirement.&nbsp;
The Plaintiff/Appellant dissatisfied with the turn of events caused a
writ of summons to be issued against the defendant/respondent claiming the
following reliefs:-<o:p></o:p>“1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A

Security Law 1991 PNDCL 247 and the Contract of Employment by failing to pay
the Employer’s contribution due Plaintiff to the Social Security and National
Insurance Trust.<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An
order for Defendant to pay all outstanding employer’s contribution due
Plaintiff for the period set out in the schedule together with the Penalty that
such non-payment attracts.<o:p></o:p>SCHEDULE<o:p></o:p>YEAR&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NUMBER
