Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant worked for the respondent company from 2012 to 2019 and claimed he was employed as a Transport Manager who resigned due to poor working conditions including non-payment of salaries. The respondent contended he was a business partner, not an employee. The labour officer dismissed the applicant's claim for terminal benefits, prompting this review application.
