Mrs Rita Kpienta, the Bono Regional Labour Officer says employers have no right to terminate the appointment of employees without justification. She said the Labour Act mandated all employers to provide reasons whenever they intended to terminate the appointment of their employees.

Mrs Kpienta said this in an interview with the media on the sidelines of the Annual General Meeting of the Bono, Bono East and Ahafo Regional branch of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) held at Fiapre, near Sunyani.

She said according to the Labour Act both employers and their employees ought to follow due processes and urged employers to always engage the Labour Department whenever they made new recruitment for service training on the labour Act.

Mrs Kpienta urged employers to remain innovative and create more job opportunities to help tackle the growing unemployment situation in the country.

She also urged employees to be diligent and remain loyal to their employers to enhance work productivity.
