Just a brief
update regarding the legal challenge against the employer’s decision to not pay
members Workforce Management Redeployment Package travelling time (or TOIL), or
additional family costs due to the closure of the majority of the DWP Norcross
site, despite members being asked to/ having to travel beyond their reasonable
daily travelling time.
On Friday
26th July 2013 an Employment Tribunal was lodged on behalf of a number of PCS members who had come forward for the
legal challenge (who had provided the relevant information and lodged claims
with the employer for WMRP). The ET covers the unlawful deductions from wages
and also Equality Issues (Disability, Gender Discrimination etc).
If anyone wants
any further details or wants to join the challenge then please contact the
Branch Office.
