Judge faults retail chain for firing ‘weak’ worker
The court also held that an employee accused of underperformance needs to be allowed to improve over a reasonable length of time, like two or three months.
The Employment and Labour Relations Court has faulted retail chain Cleanshelf Supermarkets for hastily firing an employee over ‘non-performing’ instead of offering a support plan to make him a better worker.
Justice Linnet Ndolo said employers cannot terminate the contract of their employees for underperformance without first demonstrating efforts to help them improve on the weak points.
