The Labour Court rejected HSE West’s appeal and upheld a recommendation to regularise a worker in her long-term acting role as Assistant Director of Public Health Nursing. The decision was dated 16 April 2013. The worker had held the acting post since November 2004 and sought regularisation and placement on the appropriate point of the pay scale. HSE West relied on the public-service moratorium and restrictions on cost-increasing claims. The Court cited the length of time she had performed the role and the period of ongoing discussions on regularisation when it recommended in her favour.
