Employers Lose When Rules Are Broken | Barbados News

Employment Rights Tribunal just dropped a major warning to employers: skip proper dismissal procedures, and your case is instantly doomed—no matter how justified the firing. In a fiery ruling, the tribunal slammed Markham Construction for unlawfully dismissing Alanna Hazell, ordering them to pay over $6K in compensation. The chairman called it “fatal” to defend without following legal steps—and that’s not all. Companies also face serious consequences for failing to hand over basic employee documents when legally required. This isn’t about being nice—it’s mandatory law. Ignoring these rules doesn’t just cost you money; it exposes deep governance failures. Bottom line: follow the rules or face the music.
