The above cases have been referred to the Tribunal by the Commission for Conciliation
and Mediation under the then Section 69(7) (prior to the coming into force of the

                                          2
3150    The Mauritius Government Gazette

   Employment Relations (Amendment) Act 2019) of the Employment Relations Act
   (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”). All the cases were consolidated following a joint
   motion made by Counsel for disputants and Respondent since the main bone of
   contention in all the cases is the same. Co-Respondents Nos 1 to 4 (as initially styled)
   were then joined as parties in the above cases. During the course of proceedings in the
   present matter, there have been changes brought to the responsibilities of certain
   Ministries by Government. With the agreement of parties, the names of the Ministries
   were amended to refer to their current appellations. There was no objection for Co-
   Respondent No 5 to be also joined as a party since the responsibilities for “Training” now
   fall under Co-Respondent No 5 and not under Co-Respondent No 1. Co-Respondent No
   5 was given ample time to take cognizance of the case including proceedings held until
   then and also the opportunity to file any statement of case. Co-Respondent No 5 decided
   not to file any statement of case and the stand of Co-Respondent No 5 was to abide by
   the decision of the Tribunal. All the parties were assisted by Counsel except for Co-
   Respondent No 4 who was not assisted by Counsel. The Tribunal bore in mind that the
   Mauritius Institute of Training and Development was the Respondent in the case, that Co-
   Respondent No 5 was only joined as a co-respondent with new responsibilities pertaining
   to “Training” as from a particular date (whereas this responsibility was that of Co-
   Respondent No 1 before this change in responsibilities and appellations of Ministries) and
   that Co-Respondent No 5 was offered the opportunity to cross-examine witnesses and to
   adduce evidence if it so wished despite that Co-Respondent No 5 decided to abide by the
   decision of the Tribunal. The Tribunal also bore in mind the principles enunciated in
   section 97 of the Act, that the present matter concerns employment relations disputes,
   the possibility given to the Tribunal to deal with the matter with a minimum of legal
   formalities (section 15 of the Second Schedule to the Act) and the different stands of the
   parties before us. The terms of reference are identical in all the cases and read as follows:

       1. “Whether the post of Officer-in-Charge should be placed on the establishment and
          organisation structure of the Mauritius Institute oi Training and Development

Disputant No 7 deponed on his own behalf and on behalf of the six other disputants before
the Tribunal. He solemnly affirmed as to the correctness of the contents of his Statement
of Case. His evidence was to the effect that the facts in the Statements of Case of the
other disputants were similar to those in his own Statement of Case except for the relevant
dates of appointment and years of service. He referred to the relevant dates applicable
for the other disputants including their dates of ‘appointment’ as Officer in Charge
following interviews which were held. He referred to the annexes to the Statements of
Case of the other disputants. He also referred to the copies of the internal advertisements
for the posts of Officer in Charge (For New Training Centres conducting NTC Foundation
Course), Officer in Charge (For Training Centres conducting NTC Foundation Course)
(two advertisements), Officer in Charge (NTC Foundation Course), Officer in Charge and
Officer in Charge-PVE Centres as per Annexes 2(a) to 2(f) respectively to his own
Statement of Case.

In cross-examination, Disputant No 7 agreed that at some point in time all the disputants
including himself were working as Instructors at the Industrial and Vocational Training
Board (IVTB). The post of Instructor was then converted into that of Training Officer. He
considers that ‘Officer-In-Charge’ is a post at the Respondent though he conceded that
the post is not on the establishment of the Respondent. He agreed that only Disputant
No 3 is concerned with the advertisement annexed as Annex 2(b) (to his Statement of
Case) and that the other disputants will be concerned with subsequent advertisements.
He agreed that Annex 2(c) (to his Statement of Case) was a call for the ‘enlistment of
services’ and that the remuneration was specified as being “an allowance (3 increment
worth) over and above” the salary of the post of Training Officer.

Disputant No 7 was shown a document and he agreed that it was the offer made to him
for the assignment of duties as Officer in Charge. He also agreed that as per the said
letter, he kept his substantive post. There was no mention in the letter that he would be
paid an acting or responsibility allowance nor that the allowance would form part of his
salary or be taken into account for pension purposes. He accepted the assignment of
duties as per the terms of the said letter. Disputant No 7 agreed that in his case, his
payslip mentioned that he was being paid an adhoc allowance and the allowance was not
termed as acting or responsibility allowance.

Disputant No 7 agreed that the advertisement for ‘Officer in Charge’ was in relation to a
one year course known as the NTC Foundation Course. The project has changed and
there is now a 4 year PVE Project whereby the fourth year of the course is to be conducted

                                             4
3152    The Mauritius Government Gazette

   by the Respondent. The ‘Officers in Charge’ were thus concerned with the new projects
   as regards the fourth year of study. After the ‘nine-year schooling’ was put to him,
   Disputant No 7 accepted that he took cognizance of the nine-year schooling and stated
   that he heard that the pre-vocational stream would be phased out. He conceded that
   Disputant No 2, just like him, is not directly concerned with the alleged unilateral change
   from acting/responsibility allowance to adhoc allowance. However, he suggested that
   this was a consolidated dispute along with all the other disputants since the other
   disputants were at some point in time earning an acting/responsibility allowance. He was
   not aware if there was an alleged error in the system of Respondent which led to the
   allowance bearing the name ‘acting/responsibility allowance’ for the other relevant
   disputants. He did not know if the alleged error was corrected by the Respondent in
   2013. He did not agree that the allowance which was being paid to him and the other
   disputants was all along an ad hoc allowance.

   Disputant No 7 was then cross examined in relation to two officers whom he had
   mentioned in his Statement of Case and he agreed that in the first case, the relevant post
   was an established post at the Respondent whilst in the second case, he was not aware
   of the duties the said officer was performing in the maintenance division.

   In re-examination, Disputant No 7 stated that at the relevant time he used to represent all
   the employees in negotiations concerning the organisation structure at the Respondent.
   He referred to a document (extract produced and marked Doc A) which would suggest,
   according to him, that the relevant trade union was proposing the post of Head of Pre-
   vocational Education whereas the board approved the term ‘Officer in Charge’ which
   position would be filled from among officers holding a substantive post of Training Officer
   with five years of experience in that grade. He then referred to an extract of minutes of a
   meeting which the management of Respondent would have had with Co-Respondent No
   3. Disputant No 7 averred that they have been carrying out the duties of Officer in Charge
   as per the duties laid down in the relevant advertisement at that time and have been
   remunerated accordingly. He stated that recently in an advertisement dated 2 February
   2018 (Annex 13 to his Statement of Case), the term ‘post’ has been removed and instead
   mention has been made of assignment of duties as Officer in Charge - PVE Training
   Centre.

   Mr Maudarbocus, the Acting Deputy Director of the Respondent deponed at another
   sitting. He stated that Disputants Nos 3, 1, 4 and 7 initially joined the “Ministry of
   Education” and he produced copies of documents in relation to each one of them (Docs
   B to E respectively). The other disputants were employed directly by the IVTB and he
   produced copies of documents in relation to Disputants 6, 5 and 2 (Docs F, G and H
   respectively). Mr Maudarbocus related lengthily how pre-vocational education started as
   a project of the IVTB in 1990 and then was transferred to another Ministry, that is, the
   Ministry of Education whereby a policy decision was taken that pre-vocational education

                                                5

would be under the ‘Management Trust Fund’. The IVTB then fell under the Ministry of
Training which was a different Ministry. He explained why there was then a need to come
up with a bridging course which students would follow before they could enroll in a specific
course at the IVTB. The Ministry of Education approached the (then) Ministry of Training
to design this course which was later called the National Trade Certificate (NTC) Course.
The IVTB was allocated a separate budget to run this project. Mr Maudarbocus
suggested that this was a temporary measure which was agreed at that time so that
Government could decide on a proper policy for pre-vocational education.

The first batch for this course started in 2004 and the courses were run in existing training
centres where there was enough space to accommodate the students but also in centres
set up to run only the pre-vocational courses. Mr Maudarbocus stated that there was a
need to have people to head the centres set up to run only pre-vocational courses. He
averred that since they were requested to run the project on a temporary basis, no post
was created on the establishment of the IVTB as Head of those training centres. Training
Officers were instead assigned duties to head those training centres since there was no
established position of Head of those training centres. It was merely a designated position
which they termed as Officer in Charge to head the training centres dedicated to pre-
vocational education.

Mr Maudarbocus stated that Annex 2(a) to the Statement of Case of the Disputant No 7
did not concern any of the disputants. Annex 2(b) concerned only Disputant No 3. The
other disputants were concerned with advertisements which range from 2008 onwards.
Mr Maudarbocus produced copies of letters issued to each of the disputants for
assignment of duties as Officer in Charge, Officer in Charge-NTC Foundation and Officer
in Charge (PVE Centres) (Docs I to O). He stated that there was nothing mentioned about
appointment as Officer in Charge and that the Training Officers were granted three
increments worth allowance over and above the salary of their substantive post. Mr
Maudarbocus stated that in 2005 the IVTB implemented an IT system for their Payroll,
HR and Finance system. At that time, when the system was designed, there was only
one type of allowance that the system could cater for. This was responsibility allowance.
Thus, he explained that when any allowance was paid during that period, that is, from
2005 till the end of 2012, the allowance was accounted as responsibility allowance. At
the end of 2012, the Pay Research Bureau (PRB) Report 2013 came out and
implementation of the report was as from January 2013. When they were implementing
the PRB Report 2013, they then noticed this discrepancy. The system did not cater for
different types of allowances and changes were brought to the system to cater for ad hoc
allowance. Mr Maudarbocus however suggested that right from 2004, it was pointed out
to the disputants that ‘Officer in Charge’ was not an established position but a designated
position so that the allowance paid to them was an ad hoc allowance.

   Mr Maudarbocus stated that the disputants have remained on assignment of duties as
   Officers in Charge. Mr Maudarbocus explained that with the change in government in
   2005, there was an announcement that there was going to be a reform in the education
   and training system. The IVTB came under the aegis of the ‘Ministry of Education’ and
   the reform was going to affect also pre-vocational education. The Respondent thus
   waited and meanwhile year after year the NTC Foundation course was being run. There
   was a new Education Plan 2008-2020 and in 2011 the pre-vocational program was
   changed to a four years program. Mr Maudarbocus stated that they then knew that the
   project was going to stay. The IVTB then became the MITD (Respondent) and there were
   representations from unions that there was a need to have an established position at the
   head of pre-vocational centres. They started working on the organisational structure in
   2010. Mr Maudarbocus suggested that the discussion with the union/s took a lot of time
   and that the proposal to have a Head of Pre-Vocational Centre on the establishment came
   in 2013. A consultant for the Respondent proposed to have such an established post and
   the Board allegedly accepted same but the unions were not agreeable with the
   organisation structure as proposed so that they had to work again on a new organisational
   structure. Meanwhile, in 2016 there was a new government and there was the
   introduction of the nine-year continuous basic education. There would thus be no need
   for pre-vocational education, according to Mr Maudarbocus, and pre-vocational education
   would be phased out. The last batch for pre-vocational education will be for 2020. The
   Board of Respondent then decided that there was no need to have the post of Head pre-
   vocational given that the project was going to be phased out. He stated that there is no
   need to have a Head Pre-vocational in a centre which is going to phase out in one year.

   Mr Maudarbocus stated that as regards the Training Officer mentioned by the disputants,
   the latter was assigned higher responsibility in relation to an established post of Co­
   ordinator. According to him, the criterion was senior most Training Officer in that cluster
   and the latter was given a responsibility allowance. And in relation to the second officer
   whose name was mentioned, Mr Maudarbocus stated that the Training Officer was called
   at the Head Office to give assistance against an established post of Assistant Manager
   which was vacant. He added that since the allowance is an ad hoc allowance, it cannot
   be accounted for the purposes of lump sum and pension.

   In cross-examination, Mr Maudarbocus agreed that there had been many changes over
   the years in relation to the policies to be adopted in the field of education. He stated that
   the pre-vocational project was implemented in 2004 and that same remained on a
   ‘temporary basis’ for four years until 2008. .He stated that in 1996 following the dismissal
   of the then Director, there was an Officer in Charge who was heading the IVTB. He
   however stated that the post of Officer in Charge was not on the establishment. He stated
   that there was a need for a Head to run those centres. He did not agree that there is a
   list of duties attached to Training Officers and a different list of duties attached to Officers

                                                  7

in Charge. He was referred to Annexes 3(b) and 4(a) to the Statement of Case of
Disputant No 7 and he stated that the duties of a Training Officer as per Annex 3(b) have
been amended. He then agreed that as per the documents, the duties of a Training
Officer are different from the duties of an Officer in Charge - NTC Foundation Course.

Mr Maudarbocus agreed that the advertisements for the post of Officer in Charge in 2004
and 2006 (Annexes 2(a), 2(b) to the Statements of Case of Disputants) did not mention
that this was going to be in a temporary capacity. He suggested that this was “sous-
entendu” given that the post was not on the establishment of Respondent.               Mr
Maudarbocus stated that the document as per Annex 3(a), to the Statement of Case of
Disputant No 7 was in fact the same annex to the letter of offer of assignment of duties
issued to each disputant. He stated that with the nine-year schooling there will be a
phasing out of pre-vocational education even though he agreed that nobody can tell if
there will be a new policy in the future. He added that if tomorrow the decision changes,
the Respondent will review his decision.

Mr Maudarbocus agreed that the advertisements of 2004 and 2006 (for Officer in Charge
(For New Training Centres conducting NTC Foundation Course) refer to a competitive
package to be offered to the selected candidate. He agreed that in the payslips of the
(relevant) disputants, the allowance was paid initially as a responsibility and acting
allowance. He referred once more to the alleged error in the system which lasted for
some years. Mr Maudarbocus then stated that for several years a sum of money was
being deducted from the salary of each of the relevant officers based on the allowance
and paid to SICOM when this should not have been done. He stated that Respondent
has not made any refund yet because of the present matter, and that Respondent is ready
to refund whatever surplus deductions have been applied on the salaries of those
employees. Mr Maudarbocus stated that a designated position is a post which is not on
the establishment of an organisation but relates to a specific need which arises whereby
specific duties have to be done. Since the Respondent was not aware of the policy to be
adopted in relation to pre-vocational education, the Respondent did not put a Training
Centre Manager or Assistant Manager to head the pre-vocational centres. He also added
that this was not a project of the Respondent but that of Co-Respondent No 1 and the
budget for it was in the budget of that Ministry.

Mr Maudarbocus explained the procedures to create a post at the Respondent. He stated
that Respondent could not refuse doing the pre-vocational classes because it was a policy
of government and there were students involved. He conceded that it would not have
been possible without the Training Officers with five years’ experience but he suggested
that the disputants were not forced to apply for the said positions. He did not agree that
Officer in Charge was a higher post or a post with higher responsibilities but added that
additional duties were given to the Training Officers, He agreed that Disputant No 7 had
in the meantime retired on ground of age.
