Sharp was dismissed from employment for taking time off work without permission. He appealed to the internal disciplinary body, which reinstated him but, at the same time, suspended him for five days without pay. Sharp accepted the suspension and resumed work. One day later, he asked his employer for an advance of R200 against his salary for the month as he was short of money. This was refused. Sharp then asked for a loan of R200 and told the employer he would be willing to pay the usual interest. That was also refused. Sharp decided to resign in order to get access to his terminal benefits, which were duly paid. Sharp would like to institute a claim for constructive dismissal on the basis that he had been forced to resign because of his employer’s unreasonable conduct.Required:Advise Sharp. (10 marks)
