The respondents, employees of the City of Harare, claimed they performed duties above their grades during the 2000-2009 brain drain period without receiving extra pay or promotion. An arbitrator awarded them either promotion to grade 10 overseer positions or extra duty allowance at 5% of basic salary. The appellant appealed against paragraphs 2-4 of the award.
