Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission declined jurisdiction over an electrician’s dispute about travel costs for emergency call-outs, finding that the claim concerned pay and could affect other workers. The merits were not decided. The electrician sought mileage payments for using his personal vehicle to reach a fuel-handling plant outside normal working hours. The company said employees arranged their own travel and that the Energy Craft Teamwork Proposal set the basis for remuneration. The decision was dated 4 July 2017.
