Answer 2

Yes there are laws regarding the termination of employment in ETHIOPIA:

"A contract of employment may only be terminated, at the employer’s initiative, where there are grounds connected with the worker’s conduct or with objective circumstances arising out of the worker’s ability to do his/her work or the organizational or operational requirements of the enterprise (sec. 26(1), LP).

Unless otherwise determined by a collective agreement, a summary dismissal without notice may only be justified on the following grounds (sec. 27(1), LP):

Repeated and unjustified tardiness despite warning to that effect;

Absence from work without good cause for a period of 5 consecutive working days or 10 working days in any period of one month or 30 working days in a year;

Deceitful or fraudulent conduct in carrying out his/her duties having regard to the gravity of the case;

Misappropriation of the property or fund of the employer with intent to procure for himself/herself or a third person undue enrichment;

Returning work product which, despite the potential of the worker, is persistently below the qualities and quantities stipulated in the collective agreement or determined by the agreement of the two parties;

Responsibility for brawls or quarrels at the work place having regard to the gravity of the case;

Conviction for an offence where such conviction renders him/her unsuitable for the post which he/she holds;

Responsibility for causing damage intentionally or through gross negligence to any property of the employer or to another property which is directly connected with the work of the employer;

Commission of any of the unlawful activities (referred to in section 14(2) of the LP);

Absence from work due to a sentence passed against him/her of imprisonment for more than 30 days; and

Commission of other offences stipulated in a collective agreement as grounds for terminating a contract of employment without notice. "

An employer MUST give just reason for firing your coworker. If he can't convict your friend for doing anything wrong, he simply can not fire him like that! Also, the employer should also give advance notice before firing him unless it's one of the circumstances stated above. Without giving advance notice, the employer is supposed to give severance pay if your coworker has been working at that bank for at least 12 months.

Laws in each country are different, and these are complicated matters. The best thing for your coworker to do is to TALK with your boss and sort out the issues. If it's just a minor misunderstanding, your boss should understand if he is a reasonable man!
