BPC ordered to pay former employees

In his dismissal, Judge Monametsi Gaongalelwe said that the policy document introduced in 2009 should not be cause for the delay in responding to the applicants.  The three, after submitting their exit package applications, waited for their due benefits as stipulated in the employer’s contractual obligation and policy guidelines.

He explained that the company’s rejection of the applicants in 2009 only to later be reconsidered in 2011 was just a delay tactic so that they cannot benefit from the first category that they initially qualified for.
