The Labour Court raised compensation for a worker at Marks and Spencer (Ireland) Limited Trading As Marks and Spencer from €500 to €1,000 and varied the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation. The decision was dated 22 November 2013. The worker, represented by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union, said extra Monday hours he had been told were available never materialised, causing financial loss. Marks and Spencer said the hours were temporary cover and the worker had misunderstood the offer. The Labour Court directed that he be allocated additional hours on a fair and reasonable basis alongside other staff, without priority.
