There are dangers for companies that dismiss employees for misconduct without proper procedures.

Three Fins was contractually obliged to pay Mr Hoeptner a bonus of about US$2 million at the end of two years of work, except if he was terminated for cause.

His lawyer, Mr Suresh Divyanathan, partner and head of international arbitration at Oon & Bazul, told The Straits Times the amount could be the largest awarded here for wrongful dismissal of an employee. The finance veteran had previously served as chief executive of the stock exchange in Stuttgart, Germany.

“Therefore, the damages award was exceptionally large due to the contractually obligated lump sum payment plus six months’ salary in lieu of notice and housing and education allowances that the judge awarded to Mr Hoeptner.”The company justified the termination on the grounds of misconduct, which would render him ineligible for the bonus.

If the dispute cannot be resolved in mediation, it will be heard by the Employment Claims Tribunals .
