NYIRABWIZA v UNGUKA BANK Plc

Court
Court of Appeal
Case number
RS/INJUST/RSOC 00011/2022/CA

UNGUKA BANK Plc failed to notify the labour inspector in advance of the dismissal as required by Article 34 of Law No 13/2009, rendering the dismissal of Nyirabwiza Justine unlawful. However, the bank complied with the requirement to pay compensation in lieu of notice, so no further notice-related compensation is due. Compensation for unfair dismissal is to be calculated on the net salary. Other claims for additional damages were not substantiated and were denied.

UNGUKA BANK Plc v UTUJE NYIRAGASHAPURE

Court
High Court
Case number
RSOCA 00062/2021/HC/KIG NA CMB RSOCA 00083/2021/HC/KIG

Payment of salary and benefits in lieu of notice, including double compensation when dismissal occurs during leave, satisfies the legal requirements for termination. The absence of written notice does not make the dismissal unlawful if the statutory compensation is paid. The damages awarded at first instance were not justified as the employer complied with the law.
