Termination of Employment – Unfair Dismissal - Disciplinary
This case involved a request for reinstatement of an employee. The key issue was whether the fact it was stated the employee had pretended to be working during a holiday and fabricated documents impacted the decision.
Background
An employee filed a case against a company before the First Instance Authority for Settlement of Labour Disputes (FIASLD) and requesting to be reinstated and paid his salary for the dismissal period.
The FIASLD ruled that the employee should be reinstated and that the company should pay the employee the salary for the dismissal period.
Decision
The company appealed the ruling before the SLHASLD, which said that the case documents revealed that the employee had fabricated an access document and pretended that he was working during a holiday though he was not.
The SLHASLD dismissed the appealed ruling and rejected the case.
