\"\"A wrongful dismissal dispute between the Dominica Trade Union on behalf of Smith Roberts and foreign contractor Jacques Gaddarkhan of West Indies Aggregates has ended.<\/p>\n

On February 5, 2010 a tribunal ruled that the termination of Roberts by Gaddarkhan on January 23, 2008 was unlawful, ordering West Indies Aggregates to pay over $19,000.<\/p>\n

General Secretary of the Dominica Trade Union Bernard Nicholas says Gaddarkhan failed to comply with the tribunal and legal action was taken against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWest Indies Aggregates was required to pay Smith Roberts $2,092.04 – the equivalent of four weeks\u2019 salary in lieu of notice and $17,782.34 – the equivalent of 34 weeks salary,\u201d Nicholas said.<\/p>\n

Nicholas said however Gaddarkhan failed to comply with the tribunal’s decision and \u201cin keeping with the laws of Dominica, the Dominica Trade Union took legal action against the company for compliance\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to Nicholas, after two court appearances, settlement was accepted in the tune of $21,886.52.<\/p>\n

Nicholas is advising employers that they must f9ollow the law when deciding on dismissing an employee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A wrongful dismissal dispute between the Dominica Trade Union on behalf of Smith Roberts and foreign contractor Jacques Gaddarkhan of West Indies Aggregates has ended.
