Labour Court declines to restore previous pay rates for nurse at St Patricks University Hospital

The Labour Court did not recommend restoring the previous pay rates for a worker promoted to Clinical Nurse Manager II at St Patricks University Hospital. The recommendation was signed on 19 September 2013. The worker, represented by the Psychiatric Nurses' Association, sought the earlier rate, saying she had completed the promotion process before the hospital changed rates in January 2012. The hospital said lower promotion rates applied from January 2012 to help avoid wider pay cuts and had been accepted by other promoted staff. The Court noted that the worker's appointment came after the new rates took effect and found no basis to recommend restoring the previous rates.
