GSE 01-22 eir Retail Sunday Premium
20/January/2022
Description
The CWU has been actively engaged in discussions with eir management seeking an increase in the rate of the premium that applies for working on Sunday in eir retail shops.
In line with the 2% pay increase the Union agreed for 2021/22 which came into effect on 1st July 2021, the CWU has reached an agreement to increase the Sunday premium for retail staff to time and a third.
The agreed premium will apply to both salaried and non-salaried staff (Store Managers, Assistant Store Managers, Full & Part time RSC’s) and is applicable to the basic rate of pay for hours worked on Sundays. It was agreed to backdate this payment to 1st July 2021 in line with the pay agreement and members will have received these back monies already.
These outcomes are only possible with the continued support of a strong membership base, and it is important that all retail staff are members of the CWU.
Anyone who is not in the Union but is enjoying the benefits of these increases and your Union’s hard work, should be invited to join immediately. Application forms are available from your local Branch or CWU Head Office – please contact laura@cwu.ie if you need any assistance.
Please bring this circular to the attention of the retail members in your Branch.
