The Labour Court upheld a recommendation that regular, rostered overtime be included in a worker's retirement lump sum and pension payments. Its decision was dated 14 November 2014. Limerick City & County Council had appealed the Rights Commissioner's recommendation, arguing the overtime was optional and did not qualify under the relevant circular. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union said the work was compulsory because the worker was rostered for it and could be replaced if he did not do it. The Court upheld the recommendation in the unique circumstances of the case.
