I move amendment No. 11:

In page 24, line 38, to delete "42 days" and substitute "14 days".

Even referencing our previous discussion, it is the experience of some employees that some employers drag their feet in the process and in these investigations the decision-making process can last a long time for individuals. In the current structures, there are persons within the process for two and three years. This amendment seeks to ensure there is timely resolution and that employers, instead of having six weeks' notice, would have two weeks' notice served by the inspector to the Labour Court. That is sufficient time to lodge an appeal. It would ensure there would not be vexatious issues with regard to compliance.
