Labour Court dismisses Malik Omer Shahzad’s notice pay appeal

The Labour Court dismissed Malik Omer Shahzad’s appeal over one week’s notice pay from Willogrove Ltd. The determination was dated 23 August 2016; the merits were not decided. The Court said the notice entitlement arose under the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act 1973, so it could not be pursued through an appeal under the Payment of Wages Act. Shahzad had unsuccessfully brought a complaint under the former Act and did not appeal that decision. He also made no substantive submissions setting out grounds for the wages appeal.
