The Workplace Relations Commission found a complaint by firefighter Lyle Smith against Waterford City and County Council was not well founded. The decision, dated 20 September 2022, concerned how the council calculated his public holiday pay. Smith argued that his average working hours and Sunday premiums should be reflected in the calculation. The council said overtime was excluded under the applicable rules. The WRC found the council had properly calculated his pay under the regulations, which exclude overtime from the relevant calculation.
