Employee relations, HR Management

Assignment Help:

I. Sam has been in continuous employment with Manup Ltd. for 15 years. Last Tuesday he was called to the Manager's Office and verbally informed that he was given 14 days notice for the termination of his contract of employment with Manup.

II. Sam asked the Manager to explain why his contract of employment was terminated. The Manager replied that he did not owe Sam any explanation. Advise Sam on the following issues;

(a) Does the 14 days verbal notice of termination of his contract of employment with Manup Ltd meet the necessary provisions under the Labour Act?

(b) Can the action of the Manager in the said circumstances be justified if he had merely told Sam that he was dismissed for alleged misconduct? If not, why not?

(c) Is Sam entitled to any form of compensation(s) if unfair dismissal is successfully established against Manup Ltd? And to which Court should Sam take his grievance?

(d) In fact Sam strongly doubts that he was dismissed from work because he was an executive member of Manup Workers Union (MWU), which has threatened general strike if safety measures at work are not improved.

Under such circumstances does Sam still have a legal course of action against Manup Ltd?
