Labour Court affirms findings against Jelena Golubova; section 18 appeal withdrawn

The Labour Court affirmed findings that complaints by Jelena Golubova against Tempside Limited under section 26(1) of the Organisation of Working Time Act were not well founded. The determination was signed on 16 October 2014. A separate appeal under section 18 was withdrawn. Golubova argued that Tempside penalised her by refusing to let her return after she submitted a medical certificate, and that a manager had threatened her over earlier proceedings. The Court found she had not provided a certificate covering her duties or clarified with her doctor what duties she could do; it considered delaying her return reasonable until her medical capacity was clear.
