In accordance with Section 13 of the Industrial Relations Acts 1969 following the referral of the complaint(s)/dispute(s) to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint(s)/dispute(s) and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint(s)/dispute(s).
Background:
The Complainant alleged he was being denied training unfairly. |
Recommendation:
Section 13 of the Industrial Relations Acts, 1969 requires that I make a recommendation in relation to the dispute.
The parties made verbal submissions and asked for an urgent and brief recommendation.
I recommend as follows;
The Complainant and his Manager should complete his Personal Training Plan (PTP) for 2018 within two weeks of the Hearing date.
If Artic Driving training is part of that plan the training should be organised and completed no later than six months of the Hearing date, subject to the Complainants own competency to pass the test.
If the Artic Driving is not part of the PTP then the Complainant may lodge a new claim regarding this issue, both regarding the past and as to the 2018 PTP.
