The Labour Court recommended that H. Samuel (Signet PLC) pay a temporary sales assistant £500, plus outstanding overtime for work on 21 October 1998, after finding the procedures used to end her employment were flawed. The recommendation was dated 15 March 1999. The £500 was to include outstanding notice, holiday and public holiday entitlements. The worker said she had received no warning about her performance. The company said she was unsuitable for the role despite training. The Court also said the company should establish formal disciplinary and grievance procedures for temporary and probationary employees.
