Labour Court upholds €1,553.85 award to Eusebio Gobena Gonzalez

The Labour Court rejected Excel Windows And Doors’ appeal and upheld a €1,553.85 award to Eusebio Gobena Gonzalez for holiday pay, paid holidays and public holidays. Its determination was dated 29 October 2002. The employer said it had refused to pay cash without tax deductions and had not been told about the claim before it went to a Rights Commissioner. Gonzalez said tax was deducted from his pay, that he was not paid during business closures and that he received no payment for bank holidays. The Court considered both parties’ submissions and upheld the Rights Commissioner’s decision.
