Labour Court upholds Denis Delaney’s appeal in part but sets compensation at nil

The Labour Court upheld Denis Delaney’s appeal in part over his employment terms statement, but set compensation at nil. Its determination was dated 4 December 2017. Delaney challenged an Adjudication Officer’s decision about his former employer, Grant Engineering (Ireland) Unlimited Company. The Court found five deficiencies: the statement misstated the employer’s name, omitted pay information and the right to request an average hourly earnings statement, gave late notice of a job change and did not notify him of the company’s name and status change. Other complaints, including those about his place of work and job title, were not well founded because the statement contained that information. The Court said the deficiencies had no practical effect, and Delaney accepted that he had suffered no detriment. It varied the Adjudication Officer’s recommendation and set compensation at nil.
