The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) directed Speedex Same Day to pay Patrick Harrington €400 in compensation for four days of unpaid leave under a Christmas leave custom and practice arrangement. The decision was dated 10 November 2023. The employer disputed that a separate leave arrangement existed and said Harrington had been overpaid. The WRC accepted his account that the arrangement had applied during his employment and found the non-payment was an unlawful deduction in wages. The amount is subject to lawful statutory deductions.
