Council in €120k overtime dispute

CLARE County Council faces paying out around €120,000 to 14 workers in compensation for lost overtime.

That is the view of assistant general secretary with IMPACT, Andy Pike who said a Labour Court recommendation concerning IMPACT’s claim was “helpful” to the 14 IMPACT members receiving the monies.

The claim concerns 14 workers at the Council’s Motor Tax Office who are seeking compensation for the loss of overtime earnings brought about by the council decision to reduce the motor tax office’s opening hours.
