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

</div>&nbsp;&nbsp;On 30th November, 2023, the disputing parties appeared
before the National Labour Commission and were heard in the above-mentioned
dispute.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Respondent was represented by the Human Resource
Manager and led by Counsel.<o:p></o:p>The Commission referred to the response by the Respondent
that the Complainant was never an employee of the Respondent Company.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Commission asked the Complainant to provide evidence
of its employment relationship with the Respondent Company but he could not
provide any such evidence.<o:p></o:p>In furtherance of its argument, the Respondent said it
bought the Company in 2019 and paid off all the workers and the Complainant was
never a part because he was not an employee.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Commission<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Commission upon hearing the parties and examining the
evidence on file finds that:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;1.<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-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Per letter
dated 25th June, 2018, the former management of Respondent company in response
to the complaint said the Complainant was employed at will.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;2.<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-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The
Complainant was tasked a specific assignment for which there was no contract.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;3.<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-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The
Complainant could not provide evidence to prove any formal employment
relationship.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Decision<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Commission hereby decides that the Complainant's
employment was based on "employment at will" therefore there was no
formal employment relationship to warrant the Complainant's reliefs.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The reliefs are hereby declined and the complaint
dismissed accordingly.<o:p></o:p>
