| dc.description.abstract | Time and again employees leave their jobs by mutual agreement, wrongful termination or their employees dismiss them. Regulatory authorities and legislation bodies in every society strive to manage and stabilize social welfare by introducing regulations and laws to protect the interest of both parties. One of these regulations is the labour law governing which include provision of fair employment termination or dismissal procedures. In order to achieve the aim of this study, a library based research project has been conducted and most of the court's decision, recent or old, have been considered in order to find out how they dealt with the issue in the past and whether their attitude has changed to reflect the analysis of employment law In relation to wrongful termination in Uganda today. The opinions and thoughts of scholars and government officials on this matter have also been examined in order to ascertain their opinion on the legal framework for suitable protection of the rights of employees under the current legal regime in Uganda today. After analyzing the employment law in relation to wrongful termination in Uganda, It was found and therefore concluded that while to a greater extent the employment law in Uganda in relation to wrongful termination in Uganda is enforceable both by employer and employees as well as the labour institutions, it has, to some extent, been ignored. It was recommended, inter alia, that the courts in Uganda should impose strict penalties to the employers like huge amounts of compensation for the employees where uniform and consistent application of the rule is not adhered to in supporting a good cause termination. This would compel the employers to appreciate legal principles of employment law in relation to wrongful termination in Uganda. | en_US |
