Annual general report of the controller and - Parliament of Tanzania

10.3 Weak management of employment contracts
According to provisions of section 15 of Employment and
Labor Act No. 6 of 2004; employers are required to prepare
and provide employees written contracts which should
include the following information upon recruitment.
• name, age, permanent address and sex of the
employee,
• place of recruitment,
• job description,
• date of commencement,
• form and duration of contract,
• place of work,
• hours of work,
• remuneration and method of calculation, and
details of any benefits or payments in-kind.
However, during the year under review some of the Public
Authorities were found to have no employment contracts
with their employees. In addition, for other organizations
the employee-employer contracts are incomplete. These
lapses have negative results to such organizations in any
case of legal matters.
S/No Auditee Weakness observed
1. TPA During the financial year ended 30 th June
2008 TPA recruited 127 staff for the
contract periods of less than six (6) and
three (3) years.
However, all new contracts were not
supported with written document from
concerned employees (as required by
internal directives) explaining their
intention to continue with employment.
This contradicts with Part B of the staff
regulation manual.
2. TBC TBC appointed one senior officer
(management level) since December 2006
