MUTWARE v. GUARANTY TRUST BANK (RWANDA) Ltd

The applicant proved he performed the same work as his predecessor at the Cash Management Officer position but was paid less. The employer failed to provide objective and reasonable grounds for the salary disparity and did not produce evidence to justify the difference. The court held that the applicant was entitled to the salary difference for 17 months, recalculated notice allowance and termination benefits based on the higher salary, and awarded counsel's fees. The court reaffirmed that net salary, not gross, is payable for such claims.
