Employee’s Rights – Evidence – Photocopy – Salary – Overtime – Termination of Employment – Resignation
This case involved amounts owed to an employee who said they had left their employment due to non-payment of salary and overtime. A key issue was the use as evidence of a photocopy of the salary statement.
Background
An employee filed a case against an employer before the court requesting the employer to pay his due entitlements. The employee said that he left the job because the employer had failed to pay his wages.
The court dismissed the case.
The employee appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appealed ruling and ruled that the employer should pay the employee holiday pay in addition to 66 Dinars and interest and upheld the appealed ruling.
