The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Ian Costin €750 after finding his employer had not notified him in writing of changes to his pay and probationary status. The decision was dated 4 October 2023. Costin said he had received 16.6 days of annual leave and was entitled to 20. The adjudicator found the pro-rata calculation applied because he had not worked a full year, and found that complaint not well founded. A separate complaint was withdrawn at the hearing. The upheld complaint concerned written notification of changes to employment terms. The adjudicator found Costin was not notified in writing of either the pay rise or the change from probationary status and ordered €750 compensation.
