Labour Court rejects Daughters Of Charity workers’ leave and driving allowance claims

By Donal Gilhooly

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court did not recommend conceding Daughters Of Charity workers’ claims for extra annual leave and a driving allowance. Its recommendation was signed on 5 July 1994. Impact said the workers’ leave and conditions should reflect those of comparable health board staff, and that transporting clients merited an allowance. The Court found no agreed link between the working conditions of health board staff and those of similar workers at the organisation. It considered the leave claim cost-increasing and said national agreements constrained the allowance claim.
