A redundancy exercise by the Aviation Handling Service Ghana, has resulted in over 300 workers being laid off.
The exercise is as result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the company’s operations and the aviation industry as a whole.
In a letter titled: “Notice of Redundancy,” dated March 4, 2021, and signed by Thierry Maillot, the Managing Director to the affected staff, the company stated that it had given the staff a month’s notification.
“Your employment contract shall be terminated through redundancy. We are hereby serving you with one month notice effective 5th March, 2021,” stated the letter.
The letter stressed that the Management of Aviation Handling Service Ghana had to embark on the redundancy exercise effective April 6, 2021, to cut down on its workforce for its continuous existence.
“The negotiated redundancy package is two month basic salary for each year of service,” it noted, adding the said amount would be paid in two equal instalments on the effective date of the redundancy exercise.
“During the last week of the notice period, you will be expected to hand over all company properties in your care to the Human Resources office.”
“We thank you for your valuable services to Aviation Handling Service-Ghana over the years and we wish you well in your future endeavours,” the letter concluded.
