The court finds that the Claimant is entitled to service pay for 10 years from 2001-2010, accrued annual leave for 21 days, and cash for 21 leave days. The Claimant is not entitled to house allowance or uniform refund.
Facts
The Claimant, Stephen O. Edewa, was employed by Lavington Security Limited from 1st May, 2002 until January 2015. He filed a suit seeking payment of terminal dues including accrued annual leave, house allowance, service pay, and refund of uniform levy.
Issues
- House Allowance
- Service Pay
- Accrued Annual Leave
- Unpaid Uniform Refund
Reasoning
The court rules that the Claimant's salary included house allowance and thus his claim for house allowance fails. Service pay is awarded for 10 years from 2001-2010. The Claimant's failure to apply for leave forfeited his leave entitlement except for the last year. The court dismisses the claim for house allowance and uniform refund.
Outcome
The claimant's suit is dismissed with costs.
