The Workplace Relations Commission found Niamh Kelly was not entitled to €950.21 in retrospective pay from St Vincents Private Hospital Ltd. The decision, dated 7 March 2024, found her complaint under the Payment of Wages Act was not well founded. Kelly said she remained employed until 8 December 2022 and should receive the 3% increase retrospectively from 1 February 2022. The hospital said the arrears were announced and paid after she had left, so they were not payable to her. The adjudicator considered the complaint because the arrears payment date fell within the relevant time period. The WRC found Kelly received the increase from 1 December 2022 and had been paid correctly until her resignation; it concluded she was not entitled to arrears after leaving.
