JUDGMENT<o:p></o:p>

</div>The
Plaintiff herein, Louis Nortey was employed by the Defendant Company in the
year 2004 as a Director in charge of international marketing and exports in the
sub-region on a net salary of US$2,000.00 per month. He avers that as part of
his remuneration, it was agreed between him and the Defendant that he would be
entitled to a commission on orders for the supply of drugs he would be able to
secure for the Defendant. In the course of his employment with the Defendant
which ended in 2008, he was able to secure a total value of orders worth US$3,983,833.34
for the Defendant Company and he was entitled to be paid a total commission of
US$22,167.45 which the Defendant has refused to pay him. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>In
addition to that whilst in the employment of the Defendant Company he
contributed to a welfare fund and provident fund. Between 1st
August, 2004 and 31st December, 2008 he contributed GH¢159.00 to the
welfare fund and GH¢1,892.66 to the provident fund which he is entitled to be
paid. Since the Plaintiff is no longer in the employment of the Defendant
Company he has demanded payment of the total commission he has earned, the
welfare and the provident funds but the Defendant has refused to make those
payments to him. So on 26th March, 2009, he commenced the instant
action for the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Recovery of the sum of US$190.99 (One Hundred and
Ninety United States Dollars Ninety Nine Cents) or its cedi equivalent being
orders secured by the Plaintiff for the Defendant Company in 2005.<o:p></o:p>ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Interest on the sum of US$190.99 (One Hundred and
Ninety United States Dollars Ninety Nine Cents) or its cedi equivalent from
2005 till date of final payment.<o:p></o:p>iii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Recovery of the sum of US$3,511.47 (Three Thousand
Five Hundred and Eleven United States Dollars Forty Seven Cents) or its
equivalent being orders secured by the Plaintiff for the Defendant Company in
2006.<o:p></o:p></s</main>
