Tanzania Case Law

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

Court

TANZLII

The applicant unlawfully withheld the respondent's salary without written consent, creating intolerable working conditions amounting to constructive and unfair termination. However, there was no evidence of discrimination, and the compensation awarded by the Arbitrator was excessive and not fully justified by the respondent's contribution to his 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.
