Labour Court upholds recommendation on Cork Simon worker’s incremental pay

The Labour Court upheld the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation on incremental pay for a Cork Simon Community worker and rejected Mandate’s appeal. It also recommended that the parties complete discussions within six weeks. The decision was dated 22 September 1998. The worker, an administrator, had been placed on the Local Authority Grade 5 scale. Mandate sought annual increments, while Cork Simon Community said further increases should depend on agreement over proposed changes. The Rights Commissioner had recommended placing the worker at point 3 from 1 September 1997 and discussing outstanding issues.
