Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant employed the respondent as a Till Controller at its Kwekwe Branch. She was charged with unsatisfactory performance related to stock shrinkage of 6.18% against permissible 0.5%, specifically failing to ensure proper scanning and payment of goods. She was found guilty and dismissed but successfully challenged the dismissal before the Local Joint Committee and Negotiating Committee, which reversed the dismissal decision.
