The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), in a decision dated 14 March 2024, allowed Niamh Andrews’s appeal and found that statutory holiday periods should count as working time when calculating her redundancy entitlement. Helga's Pre-School must pay her an additional €478.36 on a tax-free basis. Andrews, a pre-school teacher made redundant in June 2023, argued that her annual leave had been wrongly treated as lay-off time. The respondent said those periods should not count because she was not working while on leave. The WRC found the holiday periods should have been included in the calculation.
