Labour act avoidance by recycling temporary workers is
wrong
Sept 3, Ghanadot/GNA – The Ghana Employers
Association (GEA) has organized a two-day workshop on the
Labour Act in Tema with a call on employers to desist from
recycling temporary workers.
Nana Osei Bonsu, a Human Resource Consultant to the GEA,
said employers re-cycle their employees when they terminate
their contract after working with them for six months.
He said in a bid to avoid making the temporary workers
permanent employees in accordance with the Labour Act, some
employers would re-engage their services after terminating
their contracts for two weeks or one month.
Nana Bonsu said such employers could face a law action if it
could be proven by the employees that management were
circumventing article 75 (1) of the Labour Act 2003 which
states that “a temporary worker who is employed by the same
employer for a continues period of six months and more shall
be treated under this part as a permanent worker”.
He said employers were required by the Act to pay their
temporary employees’ contribution to the Social Security and
National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) pension scheme, medical
bills and other benefits.
Mr Alex Frimpong, Director of Industrial Relations and
Administration of the GEA, said a strike is illegal when
employees did not follow the procedure of negotiating,
mediation and voluntary arbitration.
Mr Frimpong said a worker who participates in an illegal
strike may have his or her services terminated by the
employer without any notice for breach of contract of
employment or may forfeit his or her pay in respect to the
strike period.
