Labour Court recommends meeting and realistic targets for Master Stonemasons worker

The Labour Court recommended that First Up Slu T/A Master Stonemasons arrange a meeting with a worker about any stone mason work expected of him and the support available. It also recommended realistic targets that increase as his performance improves. The recommendation was dated 26 May 2022. The worker said he lacked the qualifications for stone mason work and faced targets, threatened pay deductions and disciplinary action. The employer said stone fixing was part of his flexible general operative role, that the targets were reasonable and that he had not faced disciplinary action. The Court noted that the parties accepted he was a Category B general operative and that he had difficulty with some tasks.
