REV NO 11134 OF 2024 MUSTANSIR GULAM HUSSEIN TRADING VRS GILBERT VALENTINE

The applicant unlawfully withheld the respondent's salary without written consent, creating intolerable working conditions amounting to constructive and unfair termination.

The award is revised to 12 months' salary, withheld salaries, salary for days worked in October 2020, three months' salary in lieu of notice, and severance pay for one year.

  • Constructive dismissal
