The Labour Court recommended that Trinity House School pay two duty officers a weekend premium alongside their 25% shift allowance, as sought by Impact. The recommendation was signed on 18 December 1995. The officers continued receiving both payments after a 1985 agreement replaced the premium with a 25% shift payment. Later appointees received the shift payment only. Trinity House School said an error had allowed the two officers to keep both payments and warned that extending the arrangement to future recruits could have wider public-sector effects. Impact argued that the two officers worked weekends alongside colleagues for half the pay and opposed excluding new recruits from the premium. For future Duty Officer appointees, the Court recommended a weekend premium alongside a 16 2/3% shift allowance.
