'The Chief Constable’s failure to pay staff in accordance with the legal requirements, resulted in the need for police officers and civilian staff to incur the cost of pursuing legal proceedings'
The PSNI and Northern Ireland Police Authority are facing a £30 million unpaid wages bill following a landmark legal ruling.
Today’s ruling comes after a landmark industrial tribunal in 2018 stated that unlawful deductions made from the holiday entitlements of the PSNI’s own officers and support staff were in breach of fundamental European law rights. The case brought by the claimants centred around whether they should have their overtime and other allowances included in the calculation of their holiday pay entitlements.
“It is disappointing that this group of workers were forced to pursue this process but I am delighted that they will now finally receive the pay they deserve. We hope this case contributes to a ‘step-change’ in the way organisations calculate holiday pay moving forward so that individuals can be safe in the knowledge they are being fairly renumerated for their hard work and dedication.”
