The Labour Court recommended redundancy payments of five weeks’ pay per year of service, including basic pay and bonus, plus statutory entitlements for employees made redundant at Carton Brothers Limited. The recommendation was dated 27 June 1997. The Court also recommended compensation at 1.5 times annual loss for full-time employees moving to part-time work, covering earnings and overtime. It recommended the skilled rate for band-saw and filleting operatives, an adult rate from age 18 except for holiday relief employees, and a review of box weighers’ claims when the new system began. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union had sought to integrate bonuses into basic pay. The Court recommended postponing that claim. It also recommended that the parties explore pension options for part-time employees.
