22. Discharge from service: (1) A worker may be discharged from service for reasons of physical or mental incapacity or continued ill-health certified by a registered medical practitioner.
(2) If a worker who has completed not less than one year of continuous service is so discharged, he shall be paid by the employer compensation at the rate of thirty days wages for every completed year of service, or gratuity, if any, whichever is higher.

[Karim Jute Mills Ltd vs Chairman, Second labour Court, Dhaka and another. 1997 BLD (AD) 208]: Held that the employer has rightly connected the nature of illness of the worker, the duration and relationship of the illness with the nature of job performed by him and has rightly come to a conclusion as to his further usefulness in service bonafide and such use of power by the employer can not be hedged with interpretive conditions which make the exercise of the power impossible. The order of discharge from service was passed legally and lawfully.

An employee even after availing 211 days leave out of 365 days of the year applied for another one month’s leave on identical medical ground , it can not be said that even then the employee should be treated by the employer as physically fit to serve the employer ; Mohsen Jute Mills Ltd vs Labour Court , Khulna (1999) 4 BLC (AD) 172

(a) convicted for any criminal offence; or
(b) he is found guilty of misconduct under section 24.

(2) Any worker found guilty of misconduct may, instead of being dismissed under sub-section (1), in consideration of any extenuating circumstances, be awarded any of the following punishments, namely:

24. Procedure for Punishment: (1) No order of punishment under section 23 shall be made

    Bradley Ennis Case Summary

    • 1862 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Ennis after three warnings, one verbal and two written warnings according to the reasonable man principle must have been clearly aware that the employer did not authorize or condone this misconduct and that his actions were compromising the relationship and more severe disciplinary measures were going to be administered . The employee was capable of performing what was required of him i.e. being present for work and getting the help he needed to deal with his bereavement and addiction given the availability of the EAP. His three day unsanctioned leave of absence constitutes willful disobedience on his part, so culpable behavior can be established. As a trauma specialist, Mr. Ennis plays a very important role in the employer’s operations given the high volume of human traffic that is normal for emergency rooms, therefore Ennis’s absenteeism could have jeopardized the hospital’s ability to serve people facing emergency situations which in some cases are life and death situations. In the case of Flemming Vs J.F Goode & Sons Stationer & office supplies ltd, the court held that two instances of absenteeism are required to warrant just cause, particularly were the employee is of long service and has acted faithfully in other aspects ("CanLII - Chapter 7. Dismissal for Cause" ).. The three warnings show plus the three day absence are more than the two instances prescribed, therefore it can be argued that termination was…

    “Constructive discharge occurs when the employer's conduct effectively forces an employee to resign. Although the employee may say, "I quit," the employment relationship is actually severed involuntarily by the employer's acts, against the employee's will. As a result, a constructive discharge is legally regarded as a firing rather than a resignation. An employee cannot simply "quit and sue," claiming he or she was constructively discharged. The conditions giving rise to the resignation must be sufficiently extraordinary and…

    A constructive discharge arises when a wage earner maintains the organization forced him/her to step down because working environments were made unbearable. The claim of constructive discharge under the Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964 by Mr. X, is unjustified. The employee notifying the company that he was upset with the scheduling change in the production area never filed a complaint. Furthermore, Mr. X did not allow the organization the opportunity to respond to the claim. Thus, the organization was not aware the production schedule change created an unbearable working environment.…

    Section I Applicable Policies (para 1, part V, MCM) 3–1. General This chapter implements and amplifies Article 15, UCMJ, and part V, MCM. No action should be taken under the authority of Article 15, UCMJ, without referring to the appropriate provisions of the MCM and this chapter. This chapter prescribes requirements, policies, limitations, and procedures for— a. Commanders at all levels imposing nonjudicial punishment. b. Members on whom this punishment is to be imposed. c. Other persons who may take some action with respect to the proceedings. 3–2. Use of nonjudicial punishment A commander should use nonpunitive measures to the fullest extent to further the efficiency of the command before resorting to nonjudicial punishment (para 1d(1), part V, MCM). Use of nonjudicial punishment is proper in all cases involving minor offenses in which nonpunitive measures are considered inadequate or inappropriate. If it is clear that nonjudicial punishment will not be sufficient to meet the ends of justice, more stringent measures must be taken. Prompt action is essential for nonjudicial punishment to have the proper corrective effect. Nonjudicial punishment may be imposed to— a. Correct, educate, and reform offenders who the imposing commander determines cannot benefit from less stringent measures. b. Preserve a soldier’s record of service from unnecessary stigma by record of court-martial conviction. c. Further military efficiency by disposing of minor offenses in a manner requiring less time and personnel than trial by court-martial. 3–3. Relationship of nonjudicial punishment to nonpunitive measures (para 1g, part V, MCM) a. General. Nonjudicial punishment is imposed to correct misconduct in violation of the UCMJ. Such conduct may result from intentional disregard of or failure to comply with prescribed standards of military conduct. Nonpunitive measures usually deal with misconduct resulting from simple neglect, forgetfulness, laziness,…

    The government has restricted the law of sick leave. When an employer is sick he has to call the company and tell them that he is sick and they will send their own doctor to check what type of sickness he have. Gozo Channel Co Ltd has been affected good and bad in this factor. Good is because the employers will feel more comfortable working within the company as they will take sick leave when they are sick and they will be paid normally, and bad is because some of the employers will abuse with this law. Some of the employers may tell the company that they are sick but they won’t be sick, they just want a day off. Even if the company sends the doctor he will not know as there are types of sickness that even the doctor can’t tell you what you have.…
