The Labour Court recommended that Tesco Portlaoise and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union meet to discuss changing their agreement on wage payments. The recommendation was dated 24 November 2011. The dispute concerned Tesco’s plan to move staff from cash or cheque payments to electronic fund transfers. The union said some workers had no bank accounts and should be compensated if electronic payments were introduced. Tesco said cash payments could not continue at its new Portlaoise store and cheque payments were unsustainable. The Court noted that the agreement allowed cash or cheque payments in some circumstances and recommended discussions on updating it to reflect modern practices.
