Senior manager sues firm for unfair labour practices

and unfair labour practices against him.
He is also accusing the department store of withdrawing his company vehicle and reducing his salary.

According to an application filed at the Labour Court, Mr Meikles Moyo claims that the store withdrew benefits he was entitled to get like other senior workers.
He further claims that he was entitled to get the company vehicle he was using for more than five years.
The vehicle, Mr Moyo says, was withdrawn after he raised the complaint to the group human resources manager Mr Josiah Chigwedere.

It is also stated that the company failed to pay him his dues after promoting him from office manager to an administration manager in 2006.
In the application, his lawyers Mabulala and Motsi averred that their client was not given any letter or job description since 2006 but was made to assume responsibilities including those of the central stationery and maintenance manager.

In the process, remuneration was adjusted for the duty of maintenance manager and was later removed without his consent although he still performed responsibilities of a manager.
Mr Moyo says he was also responsible for the stores internal and external security as well as maintenance, a duty that was done by a previous manager, which entitled him to salary adjustments which the company failed to do.

The court papers state that Mr Moyo assumed responsibilities that were held by managers who were not black Africans but were paid more for their services.
Mr Moyo’s lawyers say this was an unfair labour practice and their client should be paid salaries and benefits that are commensurate with the numerous responsibilities.

The lawyers also argue that other managers were allowed to buy the vehicles they would have used for four years but his client has been discriminated with the facility being availed and withdrawn from him.
The employers are yet to file their response. No date has been given for hearing.
