</div>On Wednesday, 16TH November 2022 the parties
appeared before the National Labour Commission in the above-mentioned dispute. Respondent was represented by Counsel.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Counsel for Respondent<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Counsel addressed the
Commission on a legal objection raised by the Respondent that there has never been any
employment relationship between Goldfields Ghana Limited and complainant and so
complainant has brought the wrong respondent.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Counsel further submitted
that the employment relationship was
between complainant and Abosso
Goldfields Ltd. and not Goldfields Ghana Ltd.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Complainant's Case<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Complainant
maintained that its employer was Goldfields Ghana Ltd arguing that his
payslips, Collective Agreement and other documents clearly attest to the fact
that Goldfields Ghana Limited was the employer.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Findings<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Commission upon
review of all relevant documents including the appointment letter and
termination letters and upon hearing the
parties submissions finds that the
Respondent Employer is Abosso Goldfields Ltd.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Decision<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;

The Commission hereby dismisses the case brought by the
complainant against Ashanti Goldfields Ghana Limited because there is no
employment relationship between the two parties.<o:p></o:p></main>
