The Labour Court upheld a recommendation that an Occupational Health Nurse at Bank Of Ireland receive an annual £750 allowance from 12 August 1986, dismissing the bank’s appeal. The decision was dated 10 February 1987. The Irish Nurses Organisation argued that the nurse’s duties largely matched the Senior Nurse’s and that the £3,612 annual pay gap was unjustified. Bank Of Ireland said the Senior Nurse had distinct responsibilities and the nurse’s remuneration compared favourably with other employment. The Rights Commissioner considered an upgrade to Assistant Manager unjustified and recommended the allowance as a compromise.
