The Labour Court recommended that HSE-South increase its offer to six years’ retrospection in full and final settlement of a claim brought by Unite on behalf of a retired minibus driver. The recommendation was signed on 20 September 2017. The rate at issue was introduced in 2007 and applied to the worker’s pay from January 2016. Unite amended its claim to cover 2007 to 2015, after accepting that the rate had not existed before 2007. HSE-South had offered five years’ retrospection at conciliation.
