Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 February 2018
419. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Health if a matter (details supplied) regarding interns at Beaumont Hospital will be addressed; if his attention has been drawn to this matter; the steps he will take to address same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9505/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder 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.
