Trade union Siptu called for Ireland’s Health Services Executive to investigate fees paid to employment agencies when temporary staff convert to full-time roles, The Irish Times reported. The union delivered its concerns to the Oireachtas (Irish legislature) committee on health. Some fees have been up to €10,000, according to the report. Although temp-to-perm conversion fees are a standard practice, the newspaper said the union had only recently discovered the cost of such fees. The union also said that, overall, the Health Service Executive would spend more than €200 million on agency personnel this year.
