The Workplace Relations Commission ordered HSE North West to pay nurse Melissa Gallagher €9,380 after upholding her complaint that she was not given proper rest breaks. Adjudication Officer Emile Daly’s decision was dated 5 December 2024. The HSE denied the claim and argued that breaks were provided and the complaint was out of time. The adjudicator found Gallagher remained at work supervising service users during purported breaks, and the HSE had not shown that compensatory rest was provided.
