DECISION<o:p></o:p>

</div>&nbsp;The
parties appeared before the Commission on Wednesday, 8th September, 2021, at
which above-named dispute were heard.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The
matter was over unfair termination claim by the Complainant.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Complainant's Case<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The
Complainant submitted that the Respondent did not follow the procedure
contained in their work manual which stated that when a disciplinary action is
to be taken, the affected worker is to be given 48 hours in writing to appear
before the disciplinary committee and the reason for inviting the worker ought
to be stated which did not happen in this case.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Apart
from that, the Respondent failed to give reasons for its action which in her
view is unfair. She is therefore seeking payment in lieu of notice, Provident
Fund and compensation for unfair termination.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Respondent Case<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The
Respondent argued that they exercised their contractual right to terminate the
Complainant's appointment.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Decision/Orders<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The
Commission having heard the parties, decided that the termination is unfair and
hereby grants the Complainant's reliefs.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The Commission orders
as follows:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Four
months' salary as compensation for unfair termination<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
One
month salary in lieu of notice<o:p></o:p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

other earned benefits/entitlements<o:p></o:p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
