Clothing retailer ordered to pay staff Sunday premium
2023-04-21
Trial
Summary
Jack & Jones, a well‑known menswear retailer, was ordered by a tribunal to pay a former employee, Jake Quinn, €10,725, which represents six months' wages, after Quinn claimed he had not received a Sunday premium for 14 Sundays between April and July 2022. Quinn, who earned €11 per hour for a 37.5‑hour week, also alleged that he was not paid for bank holiday entitlements on four dates in March, April and May 2022. He was dismissed on 28 July 2022, five weeks after filing his complaint. The retailer, represented by William O'Reilly, admitted it does not pay Sunday premia and that the contract was silent on the issue. The adjudicating officer, Conor Stokes, found Quinn's complaint well founded and ordered the retailer to comply with Sunday premium payments for all staff.
