A WRC Adjudication Officer rejected Paul Flood’s Payment of Wages Act complaint against the Health Service Executive on technical grounds. The decision, dated 1 July 2026, found that deciding whether his expanded responsibilities warranted a higher grade would require a regrading decision, which could not be made through this complaint. Flood argued that the higher grade was properly payable wages. The adjudicator said the related industrial relations issues merited urgent attention through collective bargaining.
