Labour Court rejects civil servant’s wages appeal against government department

The Labour Court rejected a civil servant’s appeal in a wages dispute with a government department. The determination was signed on 20 December 2016. The worker argued that he should have received higher pay for his duties. The Court found that no procedure had created a higher rate, grade or allowance properly payable to him, and determined that the wages he received were not less than the amount due. The appeal therefore could not succeed.
