The Labour Court affirmed a recommendation that HSE West retain a worker on its temporary-work panel and pay him €3,000 compensation. The decision was dated 23 April 2012. The worker, represented by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union, said he was treated unfairly in the allocation of temporary work. HSE West argued that his employment had ended before he lodged his claim and challenged the Rights Commissioner's jurisdiction. The Court said HSE West had proceeded before the Rights Commissioner without objection and that its jurisdiction objection was withdrawn at the hearing. It found no reasonable basis to interfere with the recommendation and disallowed the worker's appeal.
