Lukasz Nowak won his force majeure leave complaint against Securitas at the Workplace Relations Commission, with the decision dated 21 October 2024.

The adjudicator ordered Securitas to restore three days of annual leave, amend its records and pay Nowak €2,500 in compensation.

The ruling followed Nowak’s request for leave after his wife needed care following complications and emergency surgery after childbirth.

Securitas had refused the request, saying the circumstances did not qualify as urgent family reasons for force majeure leave.
