The Labour Court recommended excluding payments already made for 12 months and six months from the gross-earnings calculations used to assess compensation for four Bolands Mills workers who moved from shift work to day work and lost a shift allowance equal to 20% of basic pay. The recommendation, dated 21 October 1996, followed a dispute with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union. The union argued that the agreed compensation formula covered lost shift allowance; the company said its offer was reasonable and cited possible future shift work and increased earning opportunities for some workers.
