The Labour Court recently
received proposals from the Contract Cleaning Industry Joint Labour Committee (JLC) for the adoption of proposals to amend S.I. 548 of 2016 Employment Regulation Order (Contract Cleaning Industry Joint Labour Committee) 2016.
Having examined the proposals and the report of the Chairman of the JLC submitted in accordance with the terms of the statute, the Court, in accordance with the Industrial Relations Act, 1946 at Section 42B(13)(c)
agreed to adopt the proposals of the JLC. The Court has informed the Chairman of the JLC accordingly. The Chairman of the Labour Court wrote to me on the 4 November confirming that it has adopted these proposals.
Minister English is currently reviewing these proposals as they fall under his area of responsibility. If they are approved, a Statutory Instrument to give them legal effect will be drafted shortly. A press release confirming the commencement date will issue in advance of the ERO coming into effect.
