EAT TIME OFF: Trade union activities
PART TIME WORKERS
Appeal in respect of the alleged failure to permit the Appellant to take time off in accordance with Regulation 4(2) of the Safety Representatives and Safety Committees Regulations 1977 dismissed since although there was a dispute about the reasonableness of the request, the course was not ‘in working hours’ since it fell on a day when the Appellant was not required to work.
Appeal in respect of the Appellant’s claim that she was treated less favourably on the grounds of being a part-time worker contrary to Regulation 5 of the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 allowed and the Employment Tribunal Judgment set aside and remitted to the same Employment Tribunal. The Employment Tribunal did not make findings on the aptness of the comparators or give reasons for its finding that management’s decision was not made on the grounds of the Appellant’s part-time status.
