In awarding Tam Shey May and Wong Ching Lee a combined total of RM533,222, court chairman Eswary Maree said the criteria used by the university to select staff for retrenchment should be consistent with its existing employment policies and practices.“These criteria should not be arbitrary but should align with the formal policies of the organisation.
Eswary also said such a practice disproportionately affects employees who have dedicated more time and effort to their employment.She said these individuals may have acquired valuable skills and experience over the years, and contributed significantly to the university’s success. Although she signed off on her redundancy letter, Tam said she also sought justification for her dismissal in three appeal letters.
She too disputed her alleged redundancy, saying her duties continued to exist and were taken over by others. Taylor’s said prompt action had to be taken as the performance of the bachelor of biotechnology programme affects the school of biosciences and ultimately the university itself.
