The arbitrator failed to provide adequate reasoning for the conclusion that there was no termination of employment, and did not analyze or answer the issues of fairness of termination and reliefs. The award was quashed and set aside for lack of proper reasoning and analysis.
Source excerpt
The High Court upheld a CMA award and dismissed a revision application after finding the applicant failed to prove an employment relationship at the time of the alleged termination.
The respondent's conduct—demanding the appellants sign a new contract with undisclosed terms and subsequently disowning them as employees—made continued employment intolerable, satisfying the legal test for constructive termination. The appellants were not required to exhaust grievance procedures as the employer-employee relationship was expressly denied. The High Court erred in finding otherwise.
Source excerpt
The High Court dismissed a labour revision challenge, holding that the applicant had not proved termination by the employer and that the CMA process had been prematurely invoked.
The High Court revised a labour arbitration award, holding that where no written employment records exist, the employer bears the burden on employment terms and fair termination.
The High Court allowed an employment appeal, finding the worker was underpaid and entitled to arrears, overtime, severance pay, and August salary, but not salary in lieu of notice.
The High Court quashed 67 convictions for underpaying minimum wages, holding that the parties had agreed a lawful shs.400 monthly salary and the dispute was civil, not criminal.
The High Court allowed a labour-related criminal appeal, set aside an absolute discharge, and imposed fines on three counts after a guilty plea.
The convictions were upheld because the evidence established that the appellant employed the complainants, failed to pay them minimum and due wages, did not prepare required employment records, did not pay severance allowance, failed to keep a master roll, and did not insure the employees as required by law. The trial magistrate was entitled to believe the prosecution witnesses, and the sentences imposed were justified given the appellant's conduct.
Source excerpt
The prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant employed the complainant at a wage below the statutory minimum and failed to maintain a record of the oral contract, justifying conviction.
