2.11.3 Pay Periods
Your pay period and whether you are paid weekly in arrears or monthly at month end is determined
by your class of employment within the Company (full-time, part-time, flexi-hours, etc.) and is stated
on your Contract of Employment.

2.11.4 Public Holidays
See Section 4.1.6 of this handbook.

2.11.5 Sick Pay
The Company does not operate a sick pay scheme. The company therefore is not obliged to pay you
during any absence on grounds of illness, and in such event, you should avail of the appropriate
Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection benefits. Where, at the Company’s discretion
you are paid, you will be required to return any social welfare benefits to the company.

2.11.6 Overpayments
If you are overpaid for any reason, the total amount of the overpayment will normally be deducted
from your next payment but if this would cause difficulties to you personally, arrangements may be
made with a Company Director, in certain circumstances, for the overpayment to be recovered over a
longer period but not exceeding two months.

Maintaining our reputation for a quality service depends upon your punctual and full attendance at
work. The importance the Company places on full attendance and punctuality is reflected in the fact
that these are important criteria for consideration at salary and performance reviews and internal
promotions or transfers. Failure to comply with the absence procedure will be dealt with under the
disciplinary procedure.
