Rs. 1 Bn compensation sought from milk powder company

A Sri Lankan employee who worked for a foreign milk powder company has filed a Letter of Demand, seeking compensation of Rs. 1 billion for her illegal and arbitrary termination of employment.

Ms. Seneviratne says that she has been working in the company for 08 years from 2011. Instead of commending her efforts and giving her the due promotions, false allegations have been raised against her in the final two years and she had gone to labour courts in this regard, she says. The LoD has been sent over non compliance of the agreement reached at the labour court.
