The Labour Court allowed John Murtagh’s appeal and varied the Rights Commissioner’s decision, directing Venetian Blinds (Ireland) Limited to pay him €450 compensation. The determination was signed on 8 March 2004. The Court found Murtagh had not received his full annual leave entitlement for the 2001–02 and 2002–03 leave years, with a shortfall of 4.5 days after accounting for leave paid when his employment ended. Claims relating to the 1998–99 and 1999–2000 leave years were out of time; the merits were not decided. The employer did not attend the appeal hearing.
