WRC finds Hilary O'Neill's public holiday pay complaint well founded

The Workplace Relations Commission found Hilary O'Neill's public holiday pay complaint well founded, but made no compensation order. The decision was dated 11 March 2022. O'Neill, a part-time beauty therapist at Howth Haven, Beauty Clinic Waterberry, said she had been underpaid for public holidays over 11 years. The respondent argued that the complaint was outside the time limit and said it had corrected its calculation after discovering an error. The adjudication officer limited consideration to the six months ending 2 November 2020. He found the underpayment during that period was less than the overpayment already made to O'Neill, so no compensation order could be made.
