Clause 22

No employer shall dismiss a person solely or mainly by reason of any duties or liabilities which that person is, or may become, liable to perform or discharge by reason of his being or being liable to be called up for service under this Act.

For the purpose of this section where the duties or liabilities of service under this Act caused or contributed to the dismissal of a person, he shall be deemed to have been dismissed by reason of those duties or liabilities, unless the employer proves that the dismissal was for a reason unconnected therewith.

Any employer who dismisses a person subject to this Act shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars or to both such imprisonment and fine, and the Court by which he is convicted may order the employer to pay to the dismissed person as compensation a sum not exceeding an amount equal to three months remuneration at the rate at which his remuneration was last payable to him by the employer.
