Lansdowne Road Agreement Working Hours

Lansdowne Road Agreement Working Hours

Informed sources said the agreement also contains an obligation to create a new process to reduce Garda`s work week from 40.4 hours per week to 39 hours until the end of the Lansdowne agreement on the road. In the future, Gardaa will be allowed to work the unpaid overtime required by the government as part of productivity reforms, in 15-minute modules at the end of its service.

In early July, the government instructed the Garda Representative Association to “refuse” the payment agreement on Lansdowne Road and to invoke emergency financial laws to impose sanctions on its members. Productivity Measures The PSSA states that the productivity policies set out in the 2013 Lansdowne Road Agreement can continue to apply and be updated to reflect different renewal policies mentioned in the text. In addition, there is a need to introduce performance management systems into parts of the public service where they are not yet available. And it requires parties to discuss more open recruitment “if this is likely to meet organizational needs.” Outsourcing, personnel and related issues Despite management`s attempts to significantly dilute them, the PSSA maintains all outsourcing protections acquired by unions in negotiations that resulted in previous agreements at Croke Park (2010) and Haddington Road (2013). The agreement also requires management to work with unions to minimize the use of temporary workers. And it includes guarantees on the use of internships, clinical internships, work experience and work activation measures, which state that there must be an “agreement on protocols” regarding these programmes.

DOH-Bulletin 2/2014 on current hours (before July 1, 2013) – March 2014 The new requirement to work overtime in 15-minute modules will be “self-service” and can be performed at the end of the shift to perform routine tasks such as filling out forms, according to informed sources. As with all previous public service agreements, work is excluded in situations where the employer complies with the agreement. The agreement provides for a binding procedure to resolve problems that arise without any decision on trade union actions. These restrictions do not apply to matters that are not covered by the agreement. Work-Life Balance The PSSA is committed to ensuring that the administration ensures that work-life balance agreements (including flexible work) are available as much as possible in public and public services. It states that disputes over the local and sectoral implementation of work-life balance agreements can be resolved through normal dispute resolution procedures. And she says the leadership of each sector must keep track of progress in gender balance in professional development. Until the agreement expires, more than 90% of public servants and civil servants will earn as much, or more than when wage cuts were introduced in 2010 and (for the best income) in 2013. Nearly a quarter (low wages) have been completely removed from the “retirement tax” introduced in 2009. The rest will make cuts in these payments, the rest being turned into “additional contributions.” Last updated: September 2019 Click here for the full text of the agreement.
