BHOLA Hardware City Employee Cries Foul Over Unfair Dismissal After Accident 

A BHOLA Hardware City employee Dion Martina Jeke is crying foul on how her employer treated her after she was involved in a car accident with a company vehicle on January 31. She was returning from work when the accident occurred, resulting in head injuries that required hospitalization. Dion was admitted to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, where she received medical attention. However, upon her release from the hospital, she faced a new predicament.

The company deducted her salary to cover medical expenses and instructed her to sign her termination of contract papers. Dion was shocked by the company’s actions, which she described as cruel. She believed the company was looking for a way to terminate her contract, and her accident presented a perfect opportunity.

“One of my co-workers was behind the wheel when the mishap happened. Instead of helping me, the company deducted my salary, arguing that it was used to cover ambulance charges and other charges they paid for me,” Dion told H-metro.

Dion explained that she was not yet fully recovered from the accident, but the company’s human resources manager, Lameck Mafuku insisted that the contract had to be signed within a stipulated period.

Dion said the situation had affected her and her family since she was the breadwinner. She had not yet signed the contract termination papers and appealed for help. She believed that the company’s policy was not fair to her.

BHOLA group’s human resources manager, Lameck Mafuku, confirmed Dion’s situation. He explained that the company’s policy could not change because Dion was affected. He added that he would be in the office on Wednesday to answer questions.

“We are aware of the road traffic accident that occurred and Dion was among the accident victims,” said Mafuku.

“I will be in the office on Wednesday to answer your questions, but company policy does not change because Dion is affected,” he said.
