The Labour Court upheld the Adjudication Officer’s decision on a worker’s appeal over a qualification allowance claim against the HSE. The decision was dated 18 October 2024. The registered psychiatric nurse sought the allowance for periods when he worked as a clinical nurse manager. The HSE said his day-centre role did not involve specialist duties in a specialist area. The Court said the relevant circular left the assessment to the employer, which found the worker did not qualify for the period claimed. The appeal failed.
