Holiday pay

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2015-04-01 07:11

Q: I worked for an organisation. Every year the organisation offers 6 weeks holidays at the end of the year. My six weeks holidays finished on the 26 January 2015. In the first week of December I gave my resignation that I will not be coming back to work next year (meaning from my new work year, from the 26 January). The organisation considered it and accepted my resignation on the 31 december 2014. They paid me until December. My argument with them is that they were supposed to pay me until the end of my holidays which is the 26 January 2015 as the holidays are always counted as paid. Is this correct?

Painting the premises before leaving

Submitted by admin on Tue, 2015-03-31 07:24

Q: I used to work for an organization. The organization used to house all employees in flats or apartments. The rent as well as the levy, water and light bills used to be paid by them. It is stated in the lease contract of the apartment that upon leaving, the tenant should get the place painted. The organization did not mention to me, when I moved in, that I will have to bear the cost of the painting. To me, it was understood that the organization will bear the cost of painting the apartment as they used to bear all other costs. Is the cost of painting my responsibility or the responsibility of the organization?

Renting out a flat to a woman experiencing marital problem

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2015-02-25 15:51

Q: What should a landlord do in a situation where a couple are having marital problems and the wife wants to rent a house from the landlord and live separately from the husband with the children. The couple are not divorced but the wife avers that she cannot take the husband’s constant abuse and beating anymore and living away from the husband will hopefully result in the husband “cooling down” and then there will be a basis for reconciliation.
