A worker who had just 18 days’ paid holidays in the course of six years at a Co Cavan piggery has won nearly €14,000 after his former employer was found liable for unpaid annual leave dating back over half a decade.
Ruling on a series of statutory complaints by the worker, a Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) adjudicator remarked that the man’s former boss “did not appear to be concerned that he had a worker who kept working and did not avail of his right to paid time off for the entire six years that he worked for him”.
