I have asked them and they said they are still waiting for the appointment of the board to decide on my contract
It seems like you're in a bit of a limbo with your employment situation. In Botswana, if you continue working with the employer's consent after your contract has expired, it might be considered an implied renewal of your contract. Here are a few things to consider:
- Implied Renewal: Continuing to work without objection from the employer after the contract expiry may imply contract renewal.
- Board Decision: It seems your contract renewal is pending a decision from the board.
Have you considered sending a formal follow-up email to HR or the board to request an update on your contract status?
I have made a formal follow up.
It sounds like you're taking the right steps by following up formally. While waiting for the board's decision, here are a few things to consider:
- Implied Contract: Continuing to work with the employer's consent may form an implied contract.
- Documentation: Keep records of all communications regarding your contract renewal.
- Legal Advice: Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized guidance.
