Labour Court recommends notice pay after salon ends apprentice’s trial employment

In 1994, the Labour Court recommended that Scissors And Blades Hair Salon pay a worker one week’s wages in lieu of notice after ending her trial employment. The Court signed its recommendation on 1 December. The company said it ended the trial after concerns about the worker’s work and attitude. She disputed those criticisms, said she had received no warning and said she was a third-year apprentice asked to do work for which she was not trained. The Court considered the notice payment a reasonable settlement.
