CLYDE & CO UPDATER: EMPLOYMENT LAW BRIEFING - AUGUST 2019

This month's employment law briefing focuses on the process of terminating an employment contract by way of an agreement between an employer and an employee. This form of termination is commonly known as a "compromise agreement" or "separation agreement".

A compromise agreement entered into between an employer and an employee sets out the terms for termination of an employment contract.

In practice, an employer may consider entering into a compromise agreement either:

1. where there is insufficient proof to justify the termination of an employment contract on the grounds of conduct, capacity or incompatibility; and/or
2. an employer is unwilling to go through the usual procedure for terminating an employment contract (which can be lengthy, costly and difficult)

This briefing note covers the following:

1. the legal basis of a compromise agreement;
2. the risks and limitations of compromise agreements; and
3. the actions that can be taken by an employer to mitigate the risks associated with compromise agreements.

BENKI YA NMB YAWAFUNDA WAJASIRIAMALI 1,200 KUHUSU ELIMU YA FEDHA

KUTANA NA MTANZANIA WA KWANZA KUWA AFISA MKUU WA FEDHA, TIGO TANZANIA

Tigo Tanzania ni kampuni inayoongoza katika kubuni, na kuleta huduma na bidhaa bora zinakata kiu ya watanzania, sasa kutana na Innocent Rwetabura mtanzania wa kwanza kuwa Afisa Mkuu wa Fedha wa Tigo Tanzania.

Historia ya bwana Rwetabura inajieleza yenyewe. Alijiunga na kampuni ya Tigo akiwa na uzoefu mkubwa unaotokana na kutumikia katika nyadhifa mbalimbali za juu katika makampuni mengine katika sekta ya mawasiliano.

Kwa mujibu wa maelezo yake, uhasibu upo katika damu yake. Ndio ni ukweli kwamba uhasibu unaambatana na donge nono, lakini hamasa yake haitokani na malipo au mafao yatokanayo na taaluma hiyo, bali hamasa na msukumo wa kuwa mhasibu mahiri unatokana na ukweli kwamba kazi hii inasisimua kitaaluma.

Safari yake katika sekta ya uhasibu na fedha ilianza pale alipochukuliwa kwenda kufanya kazi mara baada ya kuhitimu kutoka katika chuo kikuu cha Dar es Salaam mwaka 1998.

Kwa mara ya kwanza kabisa aliingia katika sekta ya ajira kama mhasibu msaidizi wa benki, Citibank. Akiwa na miezi michache tu tangu kuajiriwa, Price water house Coopers (PwC) walimpigia simu ya kutaka kufanya naye kazi na akachukua fursa hiyo. “Japokuwa mazingira na mafao yalikuwa mazuri sana pale Citibank lakini matarajio aliyokuwa nayo kwa kufanyakazi PwC yalikuwa bora zaidi. Nilihitaji kuwa pale ambapo utendaji upo. PwC ilikuwa ni njia yangu ya kuelekea kuwa mhasibu mahiri katika mazingira ambayo yanatoa kiwango cha juu cha utaalamu wa uhasibu,” alisema bwana Rwetabura.

TELCOS HAVE REVOLUTIONISED THE WAY WE LIVE, LET’S ALLOW THEM TO THRIVE

By Mandara Ndesanjo, UDSM
The telecommunications sector has revolutionised the way we live our lives today.

Tanzania’s telcos are household names, known for helping us stay connected to our loved ones.

Some of us are becoming accustomed to the other personal services our telcos provide. These companies have gone beyond providing us with the means to call family and friends to transforming into our banks, changing things like how we save and pay our bills.

What some of us don’t yet realise, however, is that these same telcos are having a profound impact on the business environment in Tanzania too.

The same companies that brought us mobile money solutions are finding new and creative ways to support small and medium enterprises, who are the backbone of our economy.

IS BOTSWANA RETAILER CHOPPIES ABOUT TO CHOP ITS EA BUSINESS?

Botswana-based supermarket chain Choppies Enterprises has signalled it could exit the East Africa, a week after announcing plans to leave South Africa.

The multinational retailer, which operates in eight African countries, including Kenya and Tanzania, has recently been characterised by empty shelves in its stores.

Indeed, the retailer listed on the Johannesburg and Botswana stock exchanges saw its shares plunge by more than 60 per cent since last September after announcing a delay in the publication of its financials.

Its shares were suspended on account of the inability by company’s auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers to finalise the 2018 financial statements due to alleged irregularities.

Now, as its woes mount following last week’s announcement of its South African market exit, the firm has called an extraordinary general meeting on September 4, hoping to resolve the squabbles that have brought it to its knees.

MONEY LAUNDERING

The troubles are traced to a dispute between the board led by former Botswana president Festus Mogae and suspended founder and chief executive Ramachandran Ottapathu over the control of the retailer. However, some allege mismanagement and financial impropriety.

During the extraordinary general meeting, shareholders will vote on resolutions contained in legal and forensic reports emanating from investigations into the retailer’s business and allegations of financial misappropriation and money laundering against Mr Ottapathu.

AS DEVELOPMENTS IN TECHNOLOGY CONTINUE, OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM MUST ADAPT ACCORDINGLY

By Ben Ndunguru, CoET UDSM

Educating the next generation is a key part of the country’s development.

Education these days is, however, not just teaching children how to do their sums and spell correctly. It is making sure that they know how to use the technology of today.

It is vital that the children of tomorrow are computer literate and can craft their careers using the technology which is now all around us.

It is therefore great to see that the private sector in the country is helping us drive forward the next generation’s education.

In recent weeks, one of the telcos in Tanzania donated 10 computers with free internet connectivity to a secondary school in Kisutu. It is reported that the school is already running initiatives to enable girls in the school to access Information Communication Technology tools.

FOURTH SADC INDUSTRIALISATION WEEK & EXHIBITION

PRIVATE COMPANIES IN TANZANIA ARE PAVING THE WAY IN REDUCING THE DIGITAL GENDER GAP AND DRIVING FINANCIAL INCLUSION

Nyamoko Mayagilo
Dar Es Salaam

The GSMA 2019 Mobile Gender Report shows that in sub-Saharan Africa, women are 13 per cent less likely to own a mobile phone and 41 per cent less likely to use mobile internet than men.

This unfortunately has a detrimental impact for women, especially for their financial independence, creating barriers to mobile banking.

In recent weeks, The Gates Foundation called on G7 finance ministers to endorse their new initiative, which is aimed at closing the digital gender gap in Africa.

Commenting on the initiative, Melinda Gates recognised there is a serious risk that digital technology and mobile banking could bypass millions of women in Africa, potentially setting back women’s empowerment.

Turning to Tanzania specifically, we also have a digital gender gap. According to the report, while the gender gap in mobile ownership is 9 per cent, it increases significantly to 41 per cent for mobile internet users.

UTAPELI KWA KUTUMIA SIMU ZA MKONONI WAENDELEA KUDHIBITIWA

Matapeli wanaojitambulisha kama wafanyakazi wa kampuni ya mawasiliano ya Tigo wamefikishwa mahakama ya Hakimu Mkazi ya Kisutu kwa makosa ya kudukua taarifa za wateja wa huduma ya kifedha ya Tigo Pesa inayotolewa na kampuni hiyo ambapo wamekuwa wakiwatapeli wateja wa kampuni ya Tigo kwa kujitambulisha kama wafanyakazi halali wa Tigo wakati kiukweli sio waajiriwa wa Tigo. Matapeli hao hutumia mbinu hiyo kujipatia taarifa za siri za wateja hao ambazo baadae wamezitumia kuiba kiasi cha fedha zipatazo shilingi milioni 26 kutoka kwa wateja mbalimbali wa mtandao huo kupitia huduma ya Tigo Pesa.

Hawa watu wana mbinu mbalimbali, tukitolea mfano, kuna ambao watakupigia wakisema aidha wamekutumia hela kimakosa, au anakupigia kutoka makao makuu ya kampuni ya simu husika na angependa utatue tatizo ambalo mteja amelalamikia.
