SCSLD 432/2/534/2011

This case involved a request by an employee for compensation and the transfer of their sponsorship. This was rejected as the matter had been covered in a previous ruling. A request for the payment of rent was also rejected as the employee had left the property following a court order.

Background

An employee filed a case before the First Instance Authority for Settlement of Labour Disputes (FIASLD) requesting compensation for financial damage and transfer of their sponsorship.

The FIASLD issued a ruling dismissing the claim because the dispute had been settled by a previous FIASLD ruling.

Decision

The employee appealed the ruling before the SLHASLD, which examined the case and said that the employee had been compensated in a previous ruling and therefore the SLHASLD agreed with the ruling of the FIASLD. As for the employee's request to be paid rent paid for a flat, the SLHASLD stated that the employee had vacated the flat following a court order and as such the FIASLD was right in dismissing this request as well.

The SLHASLD issued a ruling upholding the appealed ruling.
