Labour law Rugumba

Rugumba

Court
TANZLII

The appointment letter and contract of employment were not hand-signed by the Secretary General but contained electronic copied and pasted signatures without explanation. The documents were not genuine and could not create an employer-employee relationship. The applicant failed to prove the validity of the employment contract; thus, no breach or entitlement to compensation or reinstatement arose.

Court

The cause of action arose when the applicant received the NSSF letter on 31 January 2022, not when the contract ended in 2017, as there was no dispute or denial of employment status until then. The dispute was filed within the prescribed limitation period, making the arbitrator's finding of time bar unfounded.
