Labour Court rejects worker’s appeal over overtime and bonus recommendation

The Labour Court rejected a worker’s appeal and upheld the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation concerning unpaid overtime, bonus payments and a delayed P45. The decision was dated 29 July 1991. The worker, a foreman at Glass Technology (Ireland) Limited, argued that the calculations should use gross pay, that early starts should be paid at double time and that the P45 delay cost him a job offer. The company did not attend the hearing. The Court found the recommendation fair in the circumstances.
