The Labour Court recommended that Argos Distributors Limited pay double time for Sunday work to part-time weekend staff employed before 4 November 1999, and time-and-a-half to those employed after that date. The recommendation was dated 4 November 1999. The dispute with Mandate concerned Sunday premiums and retrospective pay. Argos offered time-and-a-half and six months of back pay, citing the commercial impact of double-time payments. Mandate sought double time and retrospection to March 1998, relying on the parties’ 1997 agreement, which provided for double time on Sunday and public holiday work.
