SHOULD YOU BE GIVEN NOTICE WHEN YOUR CONTRACT IS EXPIRING❓

By Editor



Kimera has been an absolute terror at his workplace. He has often bragged about how he could bring anyone to tears if he wanted. Even his supervisor is uncomfortable dealing with him. Last week, the atmosphere around his workmates has been very cheerful since they heard that some contracts may not be renewed. Upon some ‘careful’ snooping and interrogation of the HR staff, Kimera has found out that his contract is one of those that will not be renewed. He is now on the warpath and intends to sue the company into the ‘stone age’ for not giving him notice that he will have no new contract. 


SHOULD YOUR EMPLOYER NOTIFY YOU THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE A NEW CONTRACT?

No, the law does not ‘demand that your employer give you a notice that your contract will not be renewed. This is because your contract already states when the contract will expire. Some contracts also have a clause that says the employer will inform you when your contract is about to expire whether it will be renewed or not. If it has that term, then your employer must inform you.


However, your employer still has to let you know that you should not show up again from a certain date onwards whether orally or in writing, so you do not keep working after that date. Much as the law doesn't necessarily require that your employees are given notice (unless stated in the contract) shortly before their contracts are ending, wouldn't it be a bit more courteous to give them a heads-up?  This is helpful to make sure that you do not show up and keep working when the contract expired. If this happens the law will take it that your contract has been renewed whether your employer has informed you or not.


However, if your contract is going to be renewed, your employer must inform you so that you choose whether to accept the contract extension or not.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

        President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
