The Labour Court upheld a €2,495.26 award to Patricia Byrne for unused annual leave and dismissed her employer’s appeal in a determination dated 22 February 2005. The Rights Commissioner had found that an informal arrangement to take time off in lieu of weekend work had operated for years and was effectively accepted by the company. McNally Handy & Partners Ltd argued there was no agreement allowing time off in lieu for weekend work. Byrne said it had been the practice for years and had not been challenged.
