I move amendment No. 47:

In page 15, line 24 to delete "intimidation."." and substitute the following: "intimidation.

(6) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (5), where —

(a) an employee has made a complaint under the Workplace Relations Act 2015 of a failure to comply with section 18A, and

(b) the hours of work of the employee are subsequently reduced by the employer,

it shall be presumed until the contrary is proved that that the employer has penalised the employee and it shall be for the employer to show that the reduction in hours is justified by an objective factor unrelated to the making of the complaint.".
