The Workplace Relations Commission found Joyce Jein’s complaint against Alzheimer Society of Ireland t/a The Birches Alzheimer Day Centre not well founded. The decision, dated 17 August 2023, concerned her claim for pay arrears dating back to 2012, which she said amounted to about €47,900. Jein said she should have received pay parity with colleagues. The adjudication officer found there was no statutory rate for care assistants and that the dispute concerned wage negotiation, making the Payment of Wages Act inapplicable. The complaint failed.
