The Labour Court recommended that Gilbeys Ireland Limited compensate a temporary worker for earnings lost after she moved from canteen work to the production area. The recommendation was signed on 29 January 1997. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought compensation at twice the annual loss. The company argued the loss related to overtime earnings and that it had compensated permanent staff for lost earnings, while overtime was not guaranteed for temporary employees. The Court cited the worker’s length of service and the circumstances of contracting out the canteen in recommending compensation equal to twice her annual loss.
