Appellant's absence on 4 and 5 Jan 2024 did not exceed more than two consecutive working days required by s.15(2) Employment Act 1955; respondent's characterization of resignation/summation of employment was inconsistent with evidence of suspension; ADM erred in treating the facts as termination for insubordination; therefore appellant remained an employee and is entitled to salary and allowance for the period claimed.

The High Court held that the Labour Court erred by failing to properly account for the respondents' unilateral salary increments made in breach of the Shareholders' Agreement and board authority and therefore its award for unpaid salaries was erroneous; the appeal was allowed and the Labour Court decision set aside.
