The Labour Court recommended that HSE Older People Services give affected workers two additional days’ leave in the current leave year and one in the next if they gave up the additional morning break. The recommendation was dated 4 December 2015. The dispute with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union concerned the noon tea break at Sacred Heart Hospital, Castlebar. Management said staff already received breaks beyond statutory entitlements; the union argued that long-standing practice had made the break part of workers’ employment conditions.
