The Labour Court awarded a general labourer £350 in full and final settlement of his acting allowance claim against Midland Health Board. The decision was dated 25 March 1988. The worker said he had been promised an extra £5 a week for additional duties and that the payment stopped without notice at the end of 1983. Midland Health Board said the allowance ended when a horticulturist took up duty. The Court accepted that the allowance ended when the horticulturist was appointed. It found the worker had not been directly told and had raised the payment issue several times before his retirement. The Court decided he should receive £350 in full and final settlement.
