Facts of the Case

Background

Godfrey Madondo was employed by Sun Gold Syndicate as plant manager from 1 January 2021. After about a year, Sun Gold purportedly terminated his service on notice. Madondo claimed unfair dismissal, salary reduction, breach of 5-year contract, non-payment of terminal benefits, and reimbursement for courses. The Labour Officer dismissed all claims, and this application seeks confirmation of that ruling.
