Labour Court recommends time off for Saturday work at National College of Art & Design

By Fionn Kelly

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended time off in lieu for academic staff working Saturdays in the National College Of Art & Design’s Design Building: time-and-a-half for attendance up to midday and double time thereafter. The recommendation was signed on 29 August 2006. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought terms matching the Library Agreement, including overtime pay, a meal allowance and additional annual leave. The College said academic staff were salaried and proposed a day off in lieu. The Court noted the College’s concession that the day off would normally be the following Monday or another agreed day, and said there was no basis for monetary overtime payments.
