Facts of the Case

Background

A labour officer issued a ruling ordering Probrands (Pvt) Ltd to pay George Kapenzi $3,382.50 in gratuity upon termination of employment. The employer failed to comply, leading the labour officer to apply for confirmation of her ruling. The employer opposed, arguing the employee was managerial and thus excluded from the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
