Skye Bank Plc has relieved a total of 50 of its employees as well as outsourced staff of their appointments.
Although the number of the affected
non-core staff were not stated since they are not direct employees of
the bank, the reasons for the exit, it was gathered ranged from
performance, disciplinary issues as well as right sizing.
It was gathered that most of those
affected were Staff in Outsourced Functions (SOF) comprising tellers,
drivers and internal security guards. Some of those affected, THISDAY

to their misconduct.
The management of the bank it was learnt

those affected as contained in their engagement letter and as agreed
with the workers union.
"The bank thanked the affected staff
and expressed its appreciation for their work while in the employment of
the organisation,” Skye Bank said in a statement last night.
“Part of the mandate of Skye Bank’s
re-constituted board is to run a lean and efficient organisation;
control cost; aggressively recover debts owed by debtors and grow
deposit liabilities and shore the liquidity position of the bank,” it
added.
