Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant, a bank teller employed by Stanbic Bank, was dismissed for failing to comply with standing instructions. The National Employment Council Appeals Board upheld his appeal and ordered reinstatement without loss of salary and benefits. The respondent appealed to the Labour Court but later withdrew the appeal, agreeing to pay damages in lieu of reinstatement. The parties could not agree on the quantum of damages, particularly regarding back pay.
