In 1994, the Labour Court recommended that the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union accept Clery And Company Limited's proposals for a 3% PESP claim, with the sick-pay clause removed. The recommendation was signed on 16 February 1994. The union had objected to proposals including extended trading hours and sick-pay changes, while the company proposed a package of workplace and pay arrangements. The Court recommended negotiations on a new sick-pay scheme and noted the company's willingness to address individual transport and security concerns.
