The 1st respondent dismissed the 2nd respondent from employment on 29 August 2016, but reinstated him on 16 November 2016 after the dismissal was found to be unlawful. However, not all benefits were restored upon reinstatement, leading to a dispute over unpaid benefits including airtime allowance, fuel allocation, vehicle benefit allowance, use of company motor vehicle, medical aid contribution, 13th cheque and pension contribution.
