Good Day,
Hoping anyone can provide feedback.
Has any one recently been through this?
This is a first for me being in business for 9 years.
The employee in question has never received warnings for poor performance and continuous gross insubordination and insolence but only 2 counselling sessions on how we can better the work environment and our systems. A letter of grievance was handed in on Saturday afternoon last week in which we responded on Monday midday that we had received the letter and will revert back asap as I was seeking further professional advice.
Employee then resigned on Wednesday without honouring notice period of 4 weeks thus putting work colleagues and the business completely out of place. Reason for resignation was due to the fact that nothing had been done about grievance letter and work environment was intolerable even though other work colleagues who are subjected to the exact same environment have not complained or issued grievance and have continued on with their duties as normal.
The said employee was offered time off from work on the Monday due to our concerns as employers. This was a WhatsApp msg that was received and read with no response. Employee attended work on the Monday and Tuesday without any complaints or showing any inclination of an intolerable work environment either.
The whole debacle occurred over a time period of a week from a grievance letter to a resignation to a CCMA referral letter being emailed through, Twice, as first copy was incorrect.
We are expecting our baby boy in a weeks time as well so the stress levels are currently red lining.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
