The Labour Court increased Berenice McKeever’s holiday pay compensation to €1,000 after her appeal against Brian Muldoon & Sons Limited. The determination was dated 29 July 2002. The Rights Commissioner had awarded McKeever €300 after finding she had not received her statutory holiday entitlements. The Labour Court considered the leave year from 1 April 2000 to 31 March 2001, when her employment ended. The employer provided no information about hours worked, annual leave taken or public holiday entitlements, so the Court relied on McKeever’s information. It calculated entitlements of €243.28 for public holidays and €427.76 for annual leave, then set compensation at €1,000 in full and final settlement.
