Public Accounts Committee

Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Houses of the Oireachtas Commission - Review of Allowances

3:40 pm

Mr. Robert Watt:

Yes, it would involve roster reform and defining the working week differently, perhaps on an 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday basis or other basis which reflects need and demand. As such, core pay would not be paid on a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. basis, with additional premium payments for evening or weekend work. The working week would be defined based on the business needs of the entity. There have been some changes in this regard under the Croke Park agreement, including roster reforms and adjustment of hours worked. It is an issue we need to look at in the context of this review.
