Facts
The Claimant was employed as a General Worker by the Respondent from March 2003 to June 2017. The Respondent unlawfully reduced his working days to 2 in June 2016, and he was locked out on June 14, 2017. He never took annual leave and was not issued a written contract.

Reasoning
The Court found that the Claimant was not locked out but opted to work for another entity. The prayers for declaration, compensation, and notice have no foundation. The Claimant did not qualify for annual leave days, house allowance, or unpaid salaries.
