Possible court action looms if the Council of the University of Guyana fails to reverse its decision to terminate the services of two senior officials – Bursar John Seeram and Chief Accountant Hazel Bentinck.At least this is according to a senior official close to the operation of the tertiary institution who informed this publication that the move by the Council was not only ill-advised but also represents a malicious act.“Members of the University community are very much concerned about the manner in which the senior employees were sacked and it was something that was certainly not expected,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping,” said the official who requested anonymity.According to the official, the two officers were terminated on the basis of the findings detailed in a draft Report following an audit carried out by the University of the West Indies (UWI) of the Bursary of the local university. The audit was warranted following the discovery of a number of issues that were uncovered which were highlighted after the appointment of the new Vice Chancellor, Professor Jacob Opadeyi,Cheap Jerseys From China, earlier this year.The official noted that while the draft report of the audit showed no evidence of fraud on the part of the two officials, there were certain instances of mismanagement. The mismanagement, the official said, included instances when the Bursar, on his own accord,Wholesale Jerseys Group, decided to pay workers using monies from various sources that were not intended for that purpose.“For example, if money was there for Summer School,Cheap Hockey Jerseys, he would use that to pay salaries although it was not for that…while in accounting principles that is wrong, the fact remains that he only used what he had,” the official said.  The actions of the Bursar were also found to be a cause for concern as it relates to the non-payments of employees’ NIS and other necessary deductions.Although the actions were not correct, they were however justifiable, since according to the official, “the University did not have enough money…There was no fraud! What is there to steal?”The Chief Accountant,Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic, on the other hand, was only in March appointed to that position while the issues within the Bursary were found to have been carried out over a prolonged period.However, the issue of even greater concern, according to the official, is that after the submission of the draft audit report the two officers, two weeks ahead of the Council meeting which decided their fates, had each submitted written responses to the allegations levelled against them.The responses, this publication understands, were presented to the Vice Chancellor who reportedly failed to furnish this information to the Council.“The VC did not make the Council aware of the responses from these two people…So Council made a major decision to fire them without listening or hearing their part of the story.”The workers’ unions, according to the official,Wholesale Jerseys, are insisting that “due process was not followed.”Moreover, the Unions have plans apace to petition the Council to change its decision. And should this not be the way forward “the matter will end up in court because sacking of these people is unfair. You can’t sack people based on a draft report…”According to the official the draft report is one that was subject to thorough scrutiny which,Cheap NFL Jerseys, together with the consideration of the officers’ responses, could have resulted in possible changes before the submission of a final report.A statement from the unions outlined that the report from the UWI auditors was submitted to Council, which identified numerous systemic failures and deficiencies. However, it was noted that the report also noted that no malfeasance was detected. “It was therefore astounding to the Union Rep. on Council that the VC recommended, and the Council accepted by majority vote, that the Bursar and Chief Accountant be fired,” added the statement.The statement also highlighted that the Chief Accountant was only recently appointed to that position, had no authority,Wholesale Jerseys, and had complained extensively about such matters to successive Vice Chancellors even as it was noted that the responses of the two employees were not laid before the Council.“The tendency of the UG Council to fire staff without a proper hearing (if any) and redress is continuing. Unless we stand up, who will be next?” the statement highlighted.This decision,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, it was noted too, follows a previous decision to dismiss a lecturer who was accused of sexual misconduct, but was not found guilty by a court of law or the University. The lecturer was nonetheless fired for accepting payment for extra lessons, although there was no complaint to that effect and no regulation that forbids such activity.However, the statement underscored that “the Unions are in no way sanctioning wrongdoing by any individual that might harm the University. We are however insisting that in every instance due process be followed before any decision is taken to terminate an employee’s services.”
