Labour Court awards C&D Foods worker €1,085.94 over written terms

The Labour Court overturned an earlier ruling and found C&D Foods Limited breached the written-terms requirement, awarding former employee Dainis Jirgens €1,085.94, equivalent to two weeks’ pay. Jirgens said he was not given a written statement of his employment terms when he started. C&D Foods said staff received written terms at the outset and relied on a signed acceptance document, but could not locate his contract. The Court found the company had not retained a copy to verify compliance.
