Labour Court upholds recommendation on Rehab Group National Learning Network recruitment appeal

The Labour Court upheld an Adjudication Officer’s recommendation on a worker’s appeal over a recruitment decision by Rehab Group National Learning Network. The decision was signed on 19 June 2017. The worker sought compensation after failing to secure a 15-hour-per-week position in Cork. He argued that his experience had not been given sufficient credit and challenged the job description and candidate-marking system. The employer said the recruitment process was fair and that he ranked second.
