Worker said he received a payslip and discovered that his hourly rate of pay had been reduced by €7 an hour

A supervising electrician has said he was left with no option but to walk off the National Children’s Hospital site because he got back from bereavement leave to discover the subcontractor employing him had docked €7 an hour off his wages.

Later that week, Mr Church said, he received a payslip and discovered that his hourly rate of pay had been reduced by €7 an hour – about 20 per cent of his salary, his barrister said. Mr Church’s barrister, Aisling Finnegan BL, appearing instructed by solicitor Peter Collins, submitted that the contract “very clearly had €33.03″ set out as an hourly rate of pay and put it to her client that he had communicated “just how fundamental the rate of pay was” to one employee.

The reduced pay rate appeared again in a payslip Mr Church was handed on site on 31 March 2023, he said.
