- HCLA3/2023
The appeal was allowed in part because the Presiding Officer erred in law by adopting an overly simplistic approach to characterising the extra-work payments as non-wages and failing to investigate whether the employment contract had been modified or a collateral/implied agreement formed by the CFO's approval; the matter of deduction of wages, unpaid overtime and interest is remitted to the Labour Tribunal for retrial and fresh factual findings, while the claim for increased annual leave was dismissed because the employment contract entitled the claimant to 16 days only.
