Why does this always happen. Wife's car broke down yesterday and had to drive out for rescue. Laptop CMOS battery failing and laptop was telling me that its 1901. Motherboard fan on desk top computer started sounding like a cement mixer. Outside, 50 mile an hour winds and pouring with rain.Three days before travel.
Only good news is that a response to my Liberia Expat Forum posting may have led me to an electronic copy of the new Liberian Decent Work Bill. I hope to obtain a copy today. Current Liberian employment laws date from 1956 and read accordingly. They are somewhat light on basic employee rights. New comprehensive laws are being introduced with the help of the ILO. Will be interesting to see if a right to reasonable behaviour and fairness is to be implied in all employment contracts OR if there will be statutory rights of 'fairness'. Alternately, Liberia may decide to continue with the principle that an employer can dismiss anybody by giving appropriate notice of the termination and 'fairness' is a matter for the employer and his employment policies and procedures.
