Individual Labour Law
1.1 Mr Lampert: “Counsel, can you please explain to me what the employment law
consequence of Ms Goolam’s use of GenAI to draft the report is?” (4)
Thank you, Mr Lampert. In terms of employment law, when an employee uses tools or
methods that are not allowed in the workplace — like Ms Goolam using Generative AI
(GenAI) without permission — it is generally seen as misconduct. Every workplace has
rules that employees must follow, and in this case, the Ministry clearly stated that GenAI
is not an approved tool for work-related tasks.
Ms Goolam went against those rules by using GenAI to produce a report that turned out
to contain made-up information and sources. This is quite serious because it not only
affects the credibility of the report, but it also damages the reputation of the Ministry. So,
legally, the Ministry can take disciplinary action against her, which could include a
warning, suspension, or even dismissal, depending on how serious they consider her
actions. Since the false information was presented in an official and public report, the
consequences could lean towards dismissal for serious misconduct.
2. HCTE Chairman: “Counsel, I can see that in one of the annexures to the IR, Ms
Goolam suggests her resort to GenAI was because of the allegedly unreasonable
working hours which she claims violate the law. Kindly tell me what law and legal
provision(s) regulate working hours and explain if Ms Goolam’s claim is correct
in terms of that law?” (4)
