The Workplace Relations Commission awarded bus driver Denis Ryan €1,800 for unpaid annual leave and €900 for unpaid public-holiday entitlements from Wallace Travel & Transport Services Ltd. The decision was dated 31 August 2021. Ryan worked part time, mainly during school terms, and said he received neither annual leave pay nor payment or time off for seven public holidays. The respondent had notice of the hearing, but its representative did not attend. The adjudication officer accepted Ryan’s clear, uncontradicted evidence that the entitlements had not been paid. The officer found both complaints well founded. The €1,800 award represented two months’ salary for the annual leave breach, while the €900 award represented one month’s salary for the public-holiday breach.
