The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Leon Grace €2,000 after finding Newpark Hotel Limited breached his statutory rest-period rights on two occasions in January 2025. The decision, dated 10 September 2025, concerned shifts rostered within eight hours of each other. The hotel accepted the breach and apologised, but argued it was technical and minor. The Adjudication Officer rejected that characterisation, noting the two incidents were not repeated, and found the complaint well founded.
