Summary at a glance

The termination of the Claimant's employment was unfair and unlawful, and he is entitled to compensation for 12 months and unpaid wages for Sundays worked.

Facts

Claimant was employed as an Airport Supervisor and later Export Supervisor. He worked Sundays without pay and was suspended and later terminated for allegedly failing to provide finished products on time.

  • Compensation for unlawful dismissal

Outcome

Claimant wins
