The Labour Court increased a recommended ex-gratia payment to an unnamed worker from £1,000 to £3,000 in a dispute with the Southern Health Board. The decision was dated 19 April 2001. The worker, an administrator transferred from Tralee General Hospital to St Finan’s Hospital in Killarney, sought grade 8 pay and compensation for lost career prospects. The Board said he had been unsuccessful in two competitions and that £3,500 he had accepted was full and final settlement. The Court found the worker had a reasonable expectation of appointment to the upgraded post, but that the Board had acted properly and within agreed procedures. The increased payment was conditional on his formal acceptance that all issues were resolved. He could choose to defer it to his retirement lump sum.
