WRC rejects HSE worker’s public holiday pay complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission found Ivan Melia’s public holiday pay complaint against the Health Service Executive Hse not well founded in a decision dated 1 December 2023. Melia said he was not paid for public holidays when he was on call but did not attend work. The HSE said his on-call allowance covered availability and that additional wages were paid when he worked on a public holiday. The officer found that Melia had provided no specific details about the holidays in question.
