Habbib Kannas won an unfair dismissal claim and a holiday pay claim against OF Fishing Ltd at the Workplace Relations Commission. The proceedings were reported on 15 December 2022.

The commission awarded him €6,126 for unfair dismissal and €350 in annual leave pay after accepting his uncontested evidence that he worked 427 hours in July 2020. It found the company breached working-time law in relation to that holiday pay.

The adjudicator said she had no jurisdiction over the claimed back pay, alleged excessive working hours or rest-break complaints. The complaint was called for hearing in May 2022, when no company representative appeared.
