Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC said it could not make a recommendation on a worker’s dispute over a day’s pay and an attendance voucher because the issue affected a body of workers and had national implications. The decision was dated 26 March 2024; the merits were not decided. The driver said the company warned him and deducted a day’s pay after he applied for leave on paper because he did not have a smartphone. The transport company said its pay deal required staff to use an app for leave applications and that workers had agreed to use their own devices.
