PREMIUM PAYMENTS FOR DUTY AT WEEKENDS, ON PUBLIC HOLIDAYS AND AT NIGHT

When is night duty payable and how is it calculated?

Night Duty
Night duty allowance is now payable in respect of duty worked between 6.00 p.m. and 8.00 p.m. at time and one sixth. The allowance is payable in respect of each hour worked

Basic Weekly Pay = per hour worked
      246

For example:

€859.47 = € 3.49
    246

Night duty allowance is payable in respect of duty between 8.00 p.m. and 8.00 a.m. at time and one quarter.

Basic Weekly Pay = per hour worked
      164

For example:

€859.47 = € 5.24
   164

For a member on a salary of €44,815 p.a. or €859.47 p.w. , the hourly rate of night duty allowance between 6.00 p.m. and 8.00 p.m. would be € 3.49 and between the hours of 8.00 p.m. and 8.00 a.m. would be €5.24.

Saturday

What is the rate of Saturday allowance?

The allowance for working on Saturday is € 15.02 effective from 1 June, 2007

The allowance for working on Saturday to Gardai for whom Class A PRSI applies, is €15.54 effective from 1 June 2007.

Sunday

How is the Sunday allowance calculated:

The allowance in this case varies according to rostering arrangements, that is whether the Sunday falls on:

(a) a rostered working day, or
(b) a rostered rest day.

In case of (a) a member working such a day will be paid a premium of 1/5th of basic weekly pay. This in effect amounts to double time for the eight hours

In the case of (b) a member working such a day will be paid a premium of 2/41sts of basic weekly pay per hour worked. This is almost the equivalent to double pay.

Examples:

Presume a member’s basis weekly pay is €859.47 p.w., (€44.815 per annum) and hours worked (Sunday = eight hours)

Case (a)

Basic weekly Pay €859.47 = €171.89
      5

The premium therefore is €171.89 for the day.

Case (b)

Basic Weekly Pay x 2/41 per hour x hours worked

€859.47 p.w. x 2/41 = €41.93 x 8 = €335.44

The premium, therefore, is €335.44

Note: For reasons which derive from the terms of an old agreement, an hour’s overtime payment is calculated as being 1/41st of weekly pay.

Public Holiday

How is duty on a Public Holiday calculated?

Duty on a Public Holiday is compensated for in the same way as duty on a Sunday. However, if a member works four hours or more on a rest day, which is also a public holiday, in addition to receiving overtime for it at double time, the member gets another free day.
