Labour Court dismisses Julie Neville’s appeal against HSE

The Labour Court dismissed Julie Neville’s appeal against three decisions involving the Health Service Executive, affirming the Adjudication Officer’s decisions. The determination was dated 9 February 2018. Neville, an employee and director of Matrix Resources Limited, argued that the HSE’s move to recruit agency workers directly should have included her and transferred her employment. The HSE said she was not an agency worker assigned to it. The Court found Neville worked for Matrix and was never supervised or directed by the HSE. It found the unfair-dismissal and agency-worker complaints not well founded, and the transfer complaint misconceived because no transfer of undertakings took place.
