The Labour Court ruled on 22 September 2026 that it had no jurisdiction to hear Unity Healthcare Service Ltd’s appeal against a €30,420 Payment of Wages Act award to Brenda Mubaiwa. The court found the appeal was lodged one day after the 42-day deadline and that exceptional circumstances had not been established. The award remains undisturbed, but the Labour Court did not hear the underlying wage complaint on its merits.
