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

</div>After
sixteen years of service in
defendant’s employ as an account
supervisor, the plaintiff herein resigned
expecting to be paid his entitlements worth GHC39,153.28, his expectations were however cut off when
the defendant employ quickly signed another conditions of service three days
before his effective date of resignation.
Consequent to the new arrangement under the new conditions of service the defendant employ wrote to him
demanding the settlement of his indebtedness of an amount of GHC4,030.80 which according to the defendant the
plaintiff owed his employers, his account
with his employers was therefore in the negative.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The
plaintiff contended that he has not been fairly
treated and therefore instituted this action on the 9th
of July 2015 against his now former employers for the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A declaration that the
conditions of service for employees of the secretariat of the Association of
Rural Banks Ghana (2012) was
applicable to the plaintiff at the time of his resignation from the Association
of Rural Banks Ghana<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
An order of the court
directing the defendant to pay an amount of GHS39,762.05 being the total
entitlement due the plaintiff from his end of work benefits and his
contribution to the Provident Fund of the
Association.<o:p></o:p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A further order of the court
for the defendant to pay the plaintiff a share of his bonus to the employee for
the year 2014 on pro rata basis<o:p></o:p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Interest
contained in the reliefs I, 2 and 3 above from 1st December
2014 to the date of final payment.<o:p></o:p><h2 align="left" style="margin-left: 23pt;">&nbsp;</h2><h2 align="left" style="margin-left: 23pt;">THE CASE<s</main>
