Labour Revision / Judgment

  1. 1 Whether the termination of the respondent was substantively and procedurally fair

Ratio Decidendi

The respondent's termination was unfair both substantively and procedurally, as the reason for absence was religious observance, a constitutional right, and the employer failed to accommodate her despite prior tolerance. The procedure was violated by issuing the termination letter before the appeal outcome. Reinstatement was the appropriate remedy given the respondent's right to work and lack of objection to the relief sought.
