Ministerial order that would have seen some workers get pay increase is to be quashed via IrishTimesBiz

Three security companies have successfully resolved their legal action aimed at setting aside a ministerial order that would have seen many working in the industry receive a pay increase.

The type of ministerial order challenged covers matters including minimum hourly rates for security operatives; overtime calculations; sick-pay entitlements; and the minimum number of employment hours to be offered to those working in that sector.The three firms had claimed the proposed order lacked legal clarity, and that the respondents had acted unlawfully in adopting the new employment regulation order.

In their judicial review proceedings against the Minister for Enterprise Trade and Employment, the Labour Court, the Security Industry Labour Committee, Ireland, and the Attorney General claimed that the process which resulted in the order being formulated was flawed. The three applicants had argued that the market should set the rates for security operatives which would permit different rates to be set for differently qualified operatives working in diverse employment situations.

Such orders, when approved, apply to all security operatives and employers, whether they are represented on the JLC or not.
