Galway City Council pay claim rejected as out of time

The Workplace Relations Commission found Mary O'Leary’s unlawful deduction complaint against Galway City Council was brought outside the time limit and was not well founded; the merits were not decided. O'Leary said she had worked about four extra hours a week compared with colleagues of the same grade and sought reimbursement for the difference dating back to 2001. The council argued that it paid her according to her contractual hours, including after those hours changed. The decision was dated 18 January 2023.
