Civil servants lose bid for more holidays
The Civil Service Arbitration Board (CSAB) has ruled that there is no basis for acceding to the request from a union representing low-paid civil servants as they had formally agreed to the abolition of the “bank time” allowance back in 2011.
The CSAB had been asked to adjudicate on a claim by the Civil Public and Services Union (CPSU) for a once-off award of 4.5 days’ holidays to compensate staff for the loss of the perk.
