The Labour Court rejected St. James Hospital’s appeal and upheld a recommendation for compensation for a worker transferred to a ward catering assistant post. The decision was signed on 21 December 1995. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union argued the worker’s long service and enforced transfer justified pay protection. The Hospital said she should receive the rate for her new post and that it had made no commitment to protect her earnings. The Rights Commissioner had rejected red-circling but recommended compensation based on 1.25 times her annual losses.
