SHOULD YOU PAY SOMEONE FOR DOING WHAT THEY ARE ALREADY PAID TO DO?

Afande Zaake was tasked with patrolling a certain village in Nansana. During the night Mama Kaduuka went to report that there was someone breaking into her shop. Afande Zaake refused to move out into the rain since he did not want to get flu. Mama Kaduuka pleaded and promised him a reward for saving her shop. Immediately, Zaake got up and came with a patrol that arrested the robbers. He also presented his bill to Mama Kaduuka for fuel used and time spend amounting to UGX. 250,000 and he has promised to sue or arrest her if she does not pay up before Friday. Was there a contract?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

In law, if you promise someone a reward and they act on this and do something for you, then there is a contract. It means that you offered payment for something and by accepting your offered payment there is a contract between the two of you.

SHOULD A PERSON DOING THEIR JOB BE PAID BY SOMEONE ELSE?

No, a person already doing what is required of them by law cannot sue to be paid more through a contract for doing the same work. If you are already required to do something either by law or as part of your job description, you cannot claim for payment for doing this for someone who called you in this capacity. For example, the Ugandan law says that a police officer’s job is to keep law and order and part of this is to prevent crimes from being committed. This means that Afande Zaake is already required by law to protect the people of Nansana (including Mama Kaduuka) so he cannot demand for additional payment from Mama Kaduuka for doing his job. If such a person does so, you can report them to the police standards unit or their employer.
