Holding

The Claimant was not dismissed but absconded duty. The Claimant is not entitled to the prayers sought.

Facts

Claimant was employed as a house servant by Respondent on 17th March 2009. She alleged unfair dismissal on 24th July 2010, but claimed to have received her salary on 30th June 2010. Respondent denied dismissal and claimed Claimant absconded duty.

Issues

  1. Whether the Claimant was dismissed or absconded duty.
  2. Whether the Claimant is entitled to the prayers sought.

Reasoning

Claimant's testimony contradicts her statement of dismissal. She was paid her salary on 30th June 2010, and the Respondent's evidence supports her absconding duty.

Outcome

Claimant dismissed with costs

Orders

  • Claimant has not proved unfair termination and is therefore not entitled to costs.
  • Each party shall bear it's costs.
