Facts of the Case

Background

The Respondent was employed by the Appellant as a Messenger from April 2006. In April 2010, he was transferred to the Training Centre as a Workshop Assistant but continued to receive a Grade B1 salary. The Respondent's employment was later terminated, and he lodged a complaint for underpayment, which the Arbitrator upheld. The Appellant appealed, arguing the transfer was lateral and not a promotion.
