Facts of the Case

Background

The respondent was dismissed for fraud after allegedly failing to log his arrival time and avoiding the main gate to conceal his late arrival. The disciplinary process and appeal exceeded 30 days. The Arbitrator nullified the proceedings and ordered reinstatement. The appellant appealed, arguing the Arbitrator lacked jurisdiction as the matter was improperly referred.
