UNFAIR LABOUR PRACTICE

I had not been able to go to work due to a pending case I was attending.

I had told my manager and HR via WhatsApp about the case as it is a old case involving my niece.

I didn't want to get a lot of people involved as it is a personal matter.

I was supposed to be back at work, unfortunately I received a call from ipid to come to the station as I had complained to them.Aldo I needed to apply for a protection order.

I communicated all the conversations via WhatsApp.

Unfortunately I couldn't communicate after that.

I then received a WhatsApp text from our Operations Manager Thabiso Modise,Informing me that he heard stories about me.

I them told him I have family issues I am attending to and will call him, Howver I didn't want to call him as I did not want to divulge my family issues with him.

On the 4th September 2024, after I switched on my phone I received 2 sms's, one was for a hearing date that I was on leave without authorisation and the other was that my contact was terminated on the 3rd September 2024 and had 30 days to appeal.

However those days were not paid to me, as out payroll is on the 25th.

I had committed to our HR lady Georgina via WhatsApp that I am available on between the 1wt and 2nd October 2024 to return company property the laptop and cellphone.

However my leave days as we're not paid and the day's up to the 3rd September 2024 when my contact was terminated were not paid, despite me commutating. Regards
