Under the Haddington Road Agreement, for those on salaries (inclusive of allowances in the nature of pay) of €35,000 or greater, overtime is paid at the rate of time and a quarter at the individual's scale point.

The basic salary of Interns, as specified in the health sector salary scales, is set at €36,492 since 1 January 2018, having increased to €36,131 when the Living Out Allowance was incorporated into basic pay with effect from 1 July 2017.

The rate of overtime paid by Beaumont Hospital in respect of Interns, time and a quarter, is therefore correct.
