Labour Court recommends job assessment for Dublin City Council worker’s grade claim

The Labour Court recommended on 14 May 2002 that a worker at Dublin City Council use the management procedure to have his job assessed if he wished to pursue a claim for parity with officers regraded during a stores restructuring. The worker said he had carried out duties similar to officers who were assimilated to Grade 6, while he remained at Grade 4. The council described him as a general clerical or administrative officer who could be moved from stores. The Court noted the parties disagreed about the relative value of the duties and comparison grades.
