The Labour Court rejected a worker’s claim to include regular, rostered holiday overtime in his pension calculation, recommending that similar arrangements be clarified during employment. Its recommendation was signed on 23 June 2000. The worker, represented by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union, had retired from University College Cork after 21 years. The Court said the pension scheme excluded overtime and that explanatory materials from 1976 and 1993 explicitly ruled it out.
