|
Subject:
Appeal by a worker against Rights Commissioner's recommendation B.C. 247/91 concerning alleged monies due in respect of wages.
Recommendation:
Having subjected the submission of the worker to the most
careful scrutiny I am satisfied that Glenaulin Nursing Home

that this sum should be paid to the worker I recommend
accordingly.
(The worker was named in the Rights Commissioner's
Recommendation).
The worker appealed against the recommendation under Section
13(9) of the Industrial Relations Act, 1969. The Labour Court
heard the appeal on 10th December, 1991. The Home did not make
a submission, did not attend, and was not represented at the
appeal hearing.
WORKER'S ARGUMENTS:
3. The worker was employed from 9.00a.m. to 2.00p.m. on
cleaning and domestic duties. She is entitled to her day's
pay of £13.75. The Home has ignored the worker's request
for payment.
DECISION:
In the light of the submission made by the worker, and in the
absence of any information to the contrary, the Court upholds
the terms of the Rights Commissioner's Recommendation.
The Court so decides.
