The Labour Court upheld the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation that Rushbrooke Lawn Tennis Club Limited pay a worker £4.50 an hour gross from 1 April 1997, rejecting Mandate’s appeal. The decision was dated 22 September 1998. The worker had been a bar assistant at the club since 1982 and had received £4 an hour net before April 1997. Mandate argued that her rate had been reduced and sought the £4.50 gross rate, with annual increases in line with national norms. The Rights Commissioner found that club forms showed it had conceded a rate above £4 gross. The club told the Labour Court it would not attend the hearing.
