Labour Court recommends salary increments aligned with HSE scales

The Labour Court recommended concession of a claim by the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union and INMO for salary increments aligned with HSE pay scales. The recommendation was dated 27 October 2015. The unions argued their members' pay was aligned with HSE staff and should include matching increments. Ard Aoibhinn Services said reduced HSE funding left it unable to finance the increases without more funding. The Court noted both sides agreed that staff were aligned with HSE pay scales and should receive corresponding increments; it recommended concession of the claim and suggested that talks on implementation follow a format used at a similar institution.
