ADNews-Monrovia: The National Elections Commission of Liberia (NEC – Liberia) dismisses 25 employees for gross misconduct and obstruction of the Commission’s functions.
According to NEC’s official press statement, the 25 disgruntled employees were not dismissed due to any peaceful protest they might have staged as it is being circulated in the public.
NEC says their Policy Manual (No. 3.15) clearly states that in situations of gross misconduct, the contract of an employee may be terminated immediately.
The release further explains that the dismissed employees’ actions resulted in attacking, battering, threatening, intimidating, and obstructing the official movement and duty of the entire Commission.
NEC – Liberia Policy Manual defines gross misconduct as ‘behavior’ on the part of an employee, which is so bad that it destroys the employer/employee relationship, and merits instant dismissal.
Meanwhile, such dismissal is often called ‘summary dismissal’.
