Labour Department Gives Advisory on CCJ Judgment

We've all heard about the big battle at BTL over severance payments. Well, it all arises from a judgement of the Caribbean Court of Justice and the Ministry of Labour issued a statement today stressing, quote, "the judgment relates specifically to the parties involved in that case and does not determine claims outside of the matters considered by the Court."

The release adds that the Labour Department, quote, "wishes to emphasize that severance pay remains a statutory entitlement governed by the Labour Act and that each employment matter must be assessed based on its individual facts."
