The Workplace Relations Commission recommended discussions between a further-education librarian and her employer about her request for regrading to Senior Executive Librarian, Grade 7. The recommendation was dated 1 December 2017. The worker said her responsibilities had grown since 2004; her employer said it had no professional librarian grade and considered her work closer to library-assistant level. The recommendation said she should set out changes in her role and identify a comparator grade within 14 days. The respondent should check whether her annual allowance had kept pace with other pay movements and respond, with discussions to conclude within three months of her submission. The adjudicator made no finding on whether the allowance had fallen behind.
