Labour Court recommends €5,000 and three extra increments for Sos Kilkenny Limited worker

The Labour Court recommended three extra increments and a €5,000 lump sum for a worker at Sos Kilkenny Limited after finding merit in the union’s claim. The recommendation was dated 22 November 2011. The worker appealed a Rights Commissioner’s recommendation after he was unsuccessful in seeking to retain an Assistant Residential Manager post that had been re-advertised. The union said management had sent confused signals about whether he could keep the role; the company said his appointment was fixed-term and no permanent post had been promised. The Labour Court recommended three increments above those previously recommended, plus the lump sum, in full and final settlement.
