I move amendment No. 26:

In page 23, after line 16, to insert the following:"(8) Payments made under the interim relief order are not recoverable.".

This is an addition to make payments made under interim relief orders non-recoverable. In circumstances where an employee has been on an interim relief order for a time and the unfair dismissal claim is not upheld on whatever grounds, the employer could seek to recover the moneys paid. Our amendment proposes to protect the employee in that scenario.
