This case revolves around an application under section 50 of the Industrial Relations Ordinance for the interpretation of Settlement No. 2. The case arose from a dispute regarding the effective date of revised pay scales following a settlement between the parties. The Union demanded an increase in salaries effective from January 1, 1976, while the Management contended that the revisions were effective from January 1, 1977. The Tribunal concluded that the effective date for the enforcement of the revised pay scales is from January 1, 1976, as per the original demands and the terms of the settlement. The decision emphasized that the settlement was binding and the Management's discretion did not extend to altering the effective date of the pay revisions. |
