The labor court announces a very good

The feminist Gabrielle Kane was right about her former employer Marc Alain Alda Soro, CEO of the company Africapital. After a long procedure for unfair dismissal, the labor court delivered its judgment yesterday Wednesday. The judge thus rejected the objection of inadmissibility raised by Africapital’s counsel. Basically, said that the parties were linked according to the CDI from July 1, 2020 to June 23, 2022. The president declared the dismissal unfair and ordered Africapital to pay Gabrielle Kane the sum of 1,500,000 CFA francs as salary of October 2021.

In addition, the company is ordered to pay him 3,000,000 CFA francs in damages for unfair dismissal. Africapital must also pay G. Kane the sum of 4,500,000 CFA francs for notice compensation and 750,000 CFA francs for severance pay as well as 100,000 CFA francs in damages and for non-issuance of a work certificate. The judge ordered provisional execution in the amount of 1,000,000 CFA francs.

In 2022, Gabrielle Kane, who supported Adji Sarr, was fired from Africapital where she served as director of communications and marketing, a position for which the company had poached her from France and which would have brought her back if settles in Senegal with his child.

Her commitment to women’s rights would, according to her, be the reasons for this unfair dismissal. Feeling wronged, she took her employer Marc Alain Alda Soro to court for unfair dismissal and non-payment of six months of salary arrears. She had initiated two proceedings, including one before the summary court for six months of salary owed to her by her employer, and another before the labor court for unfair dismissal. In her petition, Gabrielle Kane states that she has been an employee of Africapital since 2020 and that she has been deprived of salary since October 2021.

She further specifies that access to the company’s premises was refused, her work equipment was removed and a new director of communications and marketing was appointed. She contested the facts by a bailiff on June 26, 2022.

Gabrielle Kane had also sent a letter to the Senegal Retirement Insurance Institution (IPRES) to assert that Africapital has been issuing false pay slips for more than 10 years, after realizing that she had never been declared.
