SCSLD 431/2/1017/2010

This case involved a request by an employee for their dues. An award was made but it did not include compensation for dismissal before the end of the contract. This was legitimate as the employee had been dismissed during the probation period.

Background

An employee filed a case against a company and requested the elementary authority for the settlement of labour dispute to order the company to pay him his dues.

The elementary authority ruled the company should pay the employee severance pay according to Article 84 of the Labour Law, holiday pay and wages for 18 days.

The employee appealed the ruling before the High Authority for the Settlement of Labour Dispute and stated the elementary authority had rejected his request for compensation although the company had dismissed him from his job before the end of the contract period.

Decision

The representative of the company stated the employee was dismissed from his job during the probation period.

The high authority said that it is persuaded by the ruling issued by the elementary authority.

The high authority upheld the elementary ruling.
