The Labour Court upheld a Rights Commissioner's recommendation rejecting a worker's claim for weekend premium pay at Our Lady's Hospice and Care Services. Its decision was signed on 29 July 2015. The worker challenged a Monday-to-Friday roster that denied him access to weekend premium payments. He said he had requested a five-day/seven-day pattern for medical reasons, not a Monday-to-Friday roster. The employer said he had specifically asked for Monday-to-Friday work and worked that pattern for three and a half years before asking to work weekends. The Court upheld the Rights Commissioner's decision.
