The Labour Court recommended higher basic pay rates for carers, domestic workers, kitchen assistants and cooks at Hillview Nursing Home in a recommendation dated 22 December 2005. The rates range from €8.86 for domestic workers and kitchen assistants to €11.45 for cooks. The Court also recommended a 25% allowance for night and weekend rosters in place of the Sunday premium, overtime rates, revised grievance and disciplinary procedures, and a return to weekly pay for employees who request it in writing. The recommendation followed a dispute referred by Services Industrial Professional Technical Union. The employer, Brigid Seepersad Trading As Hillview Nursing Home, cited high labour costs and had offered increases linked to bed occupancy.
