Labour Court rejects HSE West worker’s claim for more overtime compensation

By Rory Hanlon

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court found no basis for further compensation for a worker after HSE West ended an overtime and on-call arrangement. It signed the decision on 16 June 2011. The union said the work had been regular for about 20 years and ended without agreement. HSE West said the arrangement was ad hoc and that the worker had been told to focus on management duties and stop unsanctioned overtime. The Court found the overtime regular and substantial, but voluntary and contrary to management’s instructions.
