The Workplace Relations Commission found that Michael Hogan’s complaint against An Garda Síochána over payment for untaken annual leave was not well founded in a decision dated 27 February 2025. No award was made. Hogan sought €15,200.02, arguing that 79 accrued leave days represented 23.7 weeks’ pay because he worked 12-hour shifts. An Garda Síochána said its holiday-pay calculation complied with the law and argued that the claimed leave was extra-statutory. The adjudication officer found no jurisdiction over extra-statutory leave and no detail showing denial of statutory leave.
