RULING <o:p></o:p>

</div>&nbsp;Brief facts of the case<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;On the 19th of
May 2021, Patrick Sackey, Complainant, filed a complaint against Aviance Ghana
Limited, Respondent, over Unfair Termination.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Commission referred the complaint
to the Respondent for its response per letter dated 31st May, 2021 with a final reminder dated 22nd
June, 2021. The Respondent per
letter dated 2nd July, 2021 responded to the
complaint listing series of events/happenings
in the matter and concluded that "we are unable to
reinstate him nor withdraw the findings of our internal
committee" and also denied owing the Complainant.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The matter was heard and deadlocked
at facilitation. Following that, the Commission per letter dated 18th November,
2021, wrote to parties for their consent to mediation.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Complainant per a letter dated 27th
November, 2020 opted for the case to be referred to the Commission to hear the matter.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Commission heard the matter
pursuant to Regulation 33(1) of LI. 1822, National Labour Commission Regulation, 2006.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The case was heard by the Commission
but on two occasions, the Respondent wrote for adjournment
per letters dated 5th April, 2022 and 23rd
September, 2020.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;A.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
