A road maintenance worker with a county council for 50 years is entitled to have his pension payments increased because he worked at least nine hours compulsory overtime every week, the High Court ruled.
Reckonable back payments to now retired Padraig Browne (83), who worked for Mayo Co Council, will however be limited to six years having regard to the six year statute of limitations period, Mr Justice Garrett Simons said. He will be entitled to a future increase in his ongoing pension payments to reflect the fact that he worked at least nine hours extra, he said.
