The Labour Court recommended that Debenhams Limited examine ways to ease difficulties caused by monthly pay, especially for part-time staff. The recommendation was signed on 30 May 2000. Mandate sought fortnightly pay alongside the existing monthly system, citing staff dissatisfaction and survey support. Debenhams opposed the change, pointing to the cost of running two payroll systems and saying monthly pay was an agreed employment term. The Court said the parties should adhere to their 1998 agreement on monthly pay while the company looked at ways to address the difficulties.
