Labour Court rejects worker’s appeal over Central Bank regrading

The Labour Court disallowed a worker’s appeal over a regrading application at the Central Bank & Financial Services Authority Of Ireland, affirming the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation. The decision was dated 27 July 2007. The worker argued that his manager’s prejudice affected the application process. The Bank said he did not meet its criteria for personal regrading and that the P2 vacancy was filled through a competition. The Court noted possible inconsistency in how personal applications were handled and concern that the manager had not given feedback, but found the Rights Commissioner’s conclusions reasonable and supported by the facts.
