Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC recommended €750 compensation for a nurse after finding a hospital unreasonably delayed handling her grievance. In a recommendation dated 12 November 2025, adjudication officer Bríd Deering said the hospital had not fully followed the grievance procedure’s timelines. The nurse raised two issues: how an overpayment was recovered and the delay in processing her grievance. She accepted that the hospital’s planned face-to-face explanation of the overpayment would resolve the first issue. Deering recommended that the meeting take place within two weeks if it had not already happened. She also recommended €750 compensation for the grievance delay, payable within four weeks.
