Labour Court recommends St. Patrick’s College reject worker’s regrading claim

The Labour Court found no grounds to concede a worker’s claim to be regraded from Senior Administrative Officer III to Senior Administrative Officer II at St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth. The recommendation, dated 15 October 1996, followed the worker’s argument that his duties had grown as the college expanded and that Buildings Officers at comparator colleges held higher grades. The college said his grade reflected his responsibilities and that regrading could affect pay relativities and pensions.
