A Workplace Relations Commission adjudication officer upheld a human resources assistant’s complaint about increased pension deductions and ordered reimbursement of €130.78 for April 2015, plus all subsequent amounts unlawfully deducted. The decision was dated 13 October 2016. Her contract set her contribution at 1.5%, but deductions rose to 5.45% from April 2015. The respondent argued that the revised scheme authorised the increase by law. The officer found the scheme did not have statutory force in the jurisdiction, so the higher deductions were not authorised by statute.
