Labour Court overturns £200 recommendation to Delta Security worker

The Labour Court overturned a Rights Commissioner’s £200 recommendation to a worker at Delta Security Limited, finding he should receive no award. The Court’s decision was dated 10 September 1999. The worker accepted being demoted from supervisor to security guard but argued his hourly pay should have remained at £6.10 rather than falling to £4.65. Delta Security said the transfer followed a serious incident and a client’s request, and that he was paid the rate for security guard duties. The Court said the Rights Commissioner had not been given the full facts when making the recommendation.
