Labour Court recommends UCC security officers’ post-probation pay not be treated as incremental scale

The Labour Court recommended that UCC’s security officers’ pay after probation should not be treated as an incremental pay scale. SIPTU said the workers received a single rate after probation, while UCC argued that their pay fell under the Haddington Road Agreement’s provision for staff on an incremental scale. The Court found that the post-probation rate applied to workers who completed probation and was not an increment on a salary scale. It signed its recommendation on 21 November 2014.
