REV NO 28028 OF 2024 NBC LIMITED VRS DOXA MBAPILA 0001
The Applicant failed to prove gross insubordination as the Respondent had reasonable grounds to delay compliance pending appeal, and the Applicant initiated disciplinary proceedings before the appeal process was concluded, contrary to internal policy. The correction of the award from 18 to 24 months was a clerical error and did not affect the substance of the decision. The termination was substantively unfair and the compensation awarded was justified.
