Labour Court raises unpaid wages recommendation to £1,783.50

The Labour Court increased a recommendation against P. M. Chemicals from £1,533.50 to £1,783.50 on a worker’s appeal. The decision was signed on 21 January 1991, and the Court set 31 January as the payment deadline. The original recommendation covered £1,375 in outstanding salary and £158.50 in holiday pay. The worker said the amount did not account for his financial hardship and the cost of pursuing the claim. The company accepted the figure owed but said it could not pay before Christmas. The Court upheld the appeal and increased the amount.
