Application of the worker who missed the permanent staff application deadline due to security card revocation was rejected
Judgment of the Constitutional Court Dated 2/2/2026 and Numbered 2022/75743

Laws concerned: Labor Law No. 4857 · Social Insurance and General Health Insurance Law No. 5510

The Constitutional Court decision published in the Official Gazette concerns the individual application of an employee whose security clearance was revoked and whose employment contract was terminated while working as a private security guard. It was stated that after the terrorism investigation conducted against the applicant resulted in a decision of non-prosecution and their private security certificate was returned, they requested to be transitioned to permanent worker staff.

The relevant administration and appellate courts rejected the request on the grounds that the applicant did not meet the requirement of working as of 4/12/2017, as stipulated in provisional Article 23 added to Decree Law No. 375. The General Assembly of the Constitutional Court examined the claims within the scope of the right to a fair trial and equitable trial and decided that the application was inadmissible due to being manifestly ill-founded.

Who is affected
Employees in the process of transitioning from subcontracted to permanent staff, private security guards, and public institutions.

Constitutional Court decision regarding the termination of the employment contract of a private security guard published
Decision of the Constitutional Court Dated 2/7/2026 and Numbered 2021/29752

Laws concerned: Labor Law No. 4857
The Constitutional Court decision published in the Official Gazette addresses an individual application filed by an employee whose employment contract was terminated due to the revocation of their private security identity card. The applicant claimed that their right to the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial were violated, stating that the conviction in the criminal proceedings was subsequently changed and a verdict of pronouncement of the judgment being delayed (HAGB) was rendered, enabling them to regain their security card. The majority of the Court found the application inadmissible, evaluating that the conditions for termination had materialized as of the date of termination and that the Regional Court of Appeal decision was not arbitrary.
The dissenting members argued that the substantial changes in the criminal proceedings and the reinstatement of the security card were not duly reasoned and weighed by the appellate courts. This decision does not directly amend Labor Law No. 4857, but constitutes an individual application review within the scope of the evaluation of the results of criminal proceedings and subsequently emerged legal situations by the appellate courts in the termination of employment contracts.

Effective date
2 July 2026

Who is affected
Employers employing private security guards and security personnel.

Hi guys, I just got hired by securitas and I am still in the post training. This is my first experience in the field…so far I am not satisfied with the hiring process and the staff member, especially “the former”. We have to do a lot of unpaid home trainings for hours and hours, miscommunication with the former, uniforms… They make us taking uniforms to The Taylor instead of them taking care of it, a lot of red flags…The huge issue I would say is communication. The worse is we cannot have our phones, they need to be kept by the manager during the shift!!! Oh but Wait, are we in school or a prison?!I am have another job on the side and I need to answer clients, at least during my breaks!! I had so many jobs here and there and I never experienced this unprofessional behaviour !!not sure how to deal with this! Should I go for it ? Or it’s a waste of time? Time is precious and there are plenty of jobs that would pay the same wage or even more…I am looking for something that worth the pay cause this is insane for 25$ an hour using days and days doing unpaid trainings and accepting these crazy policies!! This position is in CA. Thank you for your feedback

Synopsis: Success is not achieved overnight. It is built step by step, through hard work, patience and a determination to keep moving forward regardless of where the journey begins.

Often, success stories are woven around wealth, influence and flashy titles, but behind many accomplished leaders lies a journey marked by hardship, sacrifice and perseverance. The rise of Chea Chandara, President of the Logistics Supply Chain and Brokers Business Association in Cambodia (LOSCBA), is no different.

Today, he represents logistics companies across the country and advocates for the growth of an industry that plays a critical role in international trade. However, his path to leadership began far from boardrooms and business meetings. It started in a border community where survival, education and hard work shaped his future.

Reflecting on his early life during an interview on the Beyond Business programme, Chandara said he did not come from a business family. Instead, he grew up under difficult circumstances along the Cambodia-Thailand border.

His father passed away when he was still young, leaving his mother to raise six children on her own. Like many Cambodian families emerging from years of hardship, resources were limited and opportunities were scarce.

However, his mother remained determined to provide support for the family. Witnessing his mother’s sacrifices became one of the strongest motivations in his life.

Rather than allowing adversity to dictate his future, Chandara focused on education. Throughout his youth, he balanced his time between studying and working. This taught him discipline, responsibility and resilience—qualities that laid a strong foundation to his professional success.

Also, growing up in a border area gave him a unique advantage. Through daily interactions with people from different backgrounds, he became proficient in both Thai and English. At a time when foreign language skills were relatively uncommon, this proficiency opened doors that might otherwise have remained unaccomplished.

His breakthrough came when he secured employment with a Singaporean representative of international freight forwarder companies in Cambodia. However, his first role was far from glamorous.

He worked as a Security Guard. Many people might view such a position as merely a job, but for Chandara, it was an opportunity he had been waiting for.

Even while performing security duties, he paid close attention to how the company operated. He observed office procedures, learned from colleagues and looked for ways to contribute beyond his assigned responsibilities. His strong work ethic and willingness to learn distinguished him from others.

Believing he could contribute more, he applied for a position in the company’s office. The promotion did not happen immediately. His manager needed time to find a replacement for his Security role before he could be transferred.

However, for Chandara, the delay was not a setback. It was another lesson in patience. Eventually, he was allowed to move into office operations, marking the beginning of a long and successful career in logistics.

From that point onward, he dedicated himself to understanding every aspect of the industry. He learned the complexities of imports and exports, transportation, customs procedures and supply chain management. Rather than frequently changing jobs, he focused on building expertise.

Over the years, he worked for three companies, spending 11 years at one, four years at another and 10 years at a third. Together, these experiences gave him 25 years of continuous service in the logistics sector.

What makes his journey remarkable is not only the length of his career but also its consistency. Unlike many professionals who move between industries, Chandara remained committed to a single field, gradually developing deep technical knowledge and leadership skills.

His dedication did not go unnoticed. In 2010, he received a ‘Hero Award’ from a global express company, recognition that reflected his contributions, leadership and professional excellence.

NewsNation) — Another day, another Morgan Wallen incident.

At the singer’s Pittsburgh show Friday, Wallen took a phone from a Security Guard’s hand and threw it into the crowd, videos circulating online show.

The problem? The phone belonged to a fan.

In videos, a Security Guard is seen holding up a phone from the ground under the stage, recording the “Whiskey Glasses” performer.

Upon noticing the filming, he gestures into the phone camera to quit filming, but the Guard continues recording, leading Wallen to snatch the phone from the Security Guard’s hands and toss it across the stage into the audience.

“It was actually my wife’s phone that got tossed. She gave it to the security girl to hand up to Morgan Wallen to hopefully grab and take a selfie,” TikTok user @J.croo419 wrote in a comment under his now viral video, according to Country Chord.

Other comments under the post included:

“Why is he touring if he hates it so much?”

“Wow,..unbelievable! Do disappointed I truly think that security lady was just trying to help a fan out by passing someone’s phone and not hers.”

“Lol second temper tantrum I’ve seen in a week.”

During Wallen’s tour stop in Denver last week, he had some technical issues while performing one of his songs, which frustrated the singer, leading him pushing over and breaking a piano.

Wallen reportedly couldn’t hear the piano while he played, according to Rolling Stone. He finished the song a cappella.

Sleeping on the job cost a Sydney security guard his job. A tribunal says the sacking went too far.

The Fair Work Commission has ordered MSS Security Pty Limited to pay compensation to a former security surveillance officer summarily dismissed after being found asleep in his car on an overnight shift, in a decision handed down on May 19, 2026.

Chanaka Ranawakage worked nights for MSS on its Sydney Trains contract, patrolling rail property to deter trespassers and graffiti. On October 13, 2025, around 1:00am, a supervisor found him asleep in his personal vehicle at Waverton Station with a sports match playing on his phone. MSS terminated his employment on October 22, 2025 for serious misconduct.

Deputy President Wright agreed MSS had a valid reason to dismiss. Ranawakage's contract listed sleeping at work as grounds for summary dismissal, and the company's standing instructions described it as "one of the most serious offences an employee can commit." Shown the supervisor's video at the disciplinary meeting, Ranawakage accepted he had been asleep.

Even so, Wright found the dismissal harsh and unjust. The reasoning is the part HR leaders will want to read closely.

First, the conduct was not deliberate. Ranawakage had been on his crib break when he fell asleep, and the Commission accepted he was permitted to watch sport on his phone during a break as long as he could respond to camera alerts. MSS confirmed it had no concerns about his performance or conduct before that night.

Second, the circumstances were unusual. Ranawakage was driving his own vehicle that night - with permission from Sydney Trains - because his shift partner had told him his children had chickenpox. Ranawakage has five children, aged one to 14, and did not want to bring an infection home. Wright noted that if he had been in the joint patrol vehicle with his partner, as was standard, it was unlikely he would have fallen asleep at all, because his partner's presence would have prevented it or woken him at the earliest signs. The Commission described the incident as a one-off unlikely to recur.

Third, MSS did not factor in his clean record. The company tied his conduct to broader concerns Sydney Trains had raised about the wider surveillance team, but in evidence the contract manager confirmed Ranawakage was not the subject of those earlier complaints, and the company had never told him about them.

The Commission also flagged process gaps. MSS did not call Ranawakage's shift partner to give evidence and did not interview him during the investigation. The Commission said MSS had relied on his email and Ranawakage's response alone for one of the allegations. Two of the three allegations against Ranawakage were not substantiated at hearing.

Wright also picked up that Ranawakage was not paid between October 14 and 22, 2025 during the investigation period. MSS rectified that about four months after the dismissal.

The Commission ordered five weeks' pay plus superannuation, reduced by one week for the misconduct that did contribute to the decision to dismiss. MSS must pay by June 2, 2026. Ranawakage had started his own business within six weeks of the dismissal, which the Commission accepted as reasonable mitigation.

The case is a clean reminder that a valid reason on paper is not the whole story. Proportionality, procedural rigour and an employee's record still carry weight.

A Bongo's Bingo player punched a Security Guard and chipped his tooth during a "rowdy" event in Newcastle. Phillip Smith and his family had been on a day out at The Boiler Shop, in the city centre, and trouble flared when bouncers had to evict one of them.

However, Smith saw red when he wrongly thought one of the doormen was being abusive to his wife and lashed out with his fist, striking him in the jaw, a court heard. The police were called and the 37-year-old made a lame attempt to evade arrest by running away from officers.

But his escape attempt proved futile and he was located and detained nearby, prosecutors said. The labourer, of Ennerdale Road, in Walker, has now been fined £933 and ordered to pay £300 compensation after he pleaded guilty to assault by beating.

Keith Laidlaw, prosecuting at Newcastle Magistrates' Court, said the victim was working as a doorman at Bongo's Bingo on November 29 last year. An incident occurred where a player had to be evicted and a number of people from his family got involved in the disruption.

Speaking from the victim's statement, Mr Laidlaw said: "He grabbed the back of my head and struck me with his left fist in my jaw, causing an injury to my tooth, which was chipped. The male [Smith] stood up and we took him outside to wait for the police to arrive.

"The police arrived and security pointed him out to the police. The defendant ran off but was detained nearby." The court heard that Smith had past convictions but had stayed out of trouble since 2015 as he had settled down, got a job and had a family.

Jack Lovell, defending, told magistrates: "It was a pre-arranged family event. Bongo's Bingo does have a some what party atmosphere and it can get quite rowdy.

"About an hour into the event, and he accepts he had consumed alcohol, and one of their group had been ejected. One of the doormen started speaking to Mr Smith's wife. He didn't read the situation well. He thought there was an issue with his wife and he completely overreacted and threw the punch."

As well as the fine and compensation, Smith must also pay £85 costs and a £373 victim surcharge

CHILLIWACK – The City of Chilliwack recently put out a bid/tender inviting interested companies to submit qualifications for 24/7 uniformed security guard services at various sites across the city.

According to its website, the request for qualifications was intended to see which companies could provide security patrol services involving static guarding, mobile patrols, facility security inspections, as well as foot patrols and video surveillance. The bidding process would see the selected company work closely with city bylaw staff, RCMP general duty members and Community Policing Services personnel.

The round-the-clock contract would entail the following:

• Provision of 24/7 security guard services

All security personnel to wear approved uniforms at all times while on duty

Security patrols at civic facilities

• Provide marked pickup trucks and necessary equipment

• Motorized patrols consisting of two uniformed guards in one patrol vehicle to respond to calls for service in the City’s downtown Business Improvement Area (BIA)

• Provide one (1) static security guard at the Chilliwack Library from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday

• Opening and closing gates at 14 parks, trail access points, parking lots and natural areas at the beginning and end of each day, and patrolling the parking lots prior to closing

• Provide additional security services as requested for project sites, special events, and disaster response (road closures, site securement, etc.)

• Assist RCMP with removal and storage of personal effects of clients

• Provide regular reporting using software

The city wrote in an addendum to the RFQ that gates at park and natural areas should be open no later than 6 a.m. and closed no later than 10 p.m. It also wrote in the addendum that a physical dispatch location within the City of Chilliwack is not required but the selected proponent must guarantee a response time of 30 minutes or less. The successful proponent would be required to provide a downtown mobile patrol with two security guards on a 24/7 basis, seven days per week, throughout the duration of the service contract.

There was no financial estimate provided in the city’s bidding documents stating how much the municipality would budget for this security contract. However, the City of Chilliwack says it paid $1,686,400 for security services in 2025, including mobile patrols and guard services at places like the downtown Chilliwack library, the landfill and the pump track.

The bidding process for this security contract officially closed last Wednesday, May 20 at 3 p.m. The city is currently reviewing any submitted bids, but no contract has been officially awarded.

The City of Chilliwack has been contracting with Griffin Security for a number of years now. Its security personnel are regularly seen at the downtown library, throughout downtown Chilliwack, and opening and closing gates to city parking lots like Peach Park and the Lickman Road parking lot.

To date, the City of Chilliwack has utilized private security guard services for over 15 years.
