The Workplace Relations Commission directed Realta Healthcare Ltd to pay support worker Chantel Kelly €500 compensation and review its contracts and payroll policy after finding its method of including public holiday entitlement in a composite rate unlawful. The decision was dated 20 May 2026. Kelly said she had not received public holiday pay or equivalent time off. The company argued she had been overpaid, but the adjudication officer found her contract and handbook did not set out the two-tier hourly rate it relied on.
