Labour Court upholds finding against Monika Stachon in terms complaint

The Labour Court upheld a finding that Monika Stachon’s complaint about her written terms of employment was not well founded. The determination was dated 29 November 2017. Stachon, a general operative at Lake Region Medical Limited, argued that her written terms omitted required information about pay, working hours, annual leave and the company pension scheme. The employer said an accompanying employee information booklet supplied details about hours and the pension scheme. The Court found that the statement lacked information about working hours and the pension scheme, but that the booklet supplied those details. It also found that the statement included annual leave terms, while the missing pay reference information had no practical significance in her case. The Court treated the breaches as technical and upheld the Adjudication Officer’s decision.
