The Labour Court varied the €2,261 award to Wladyslaw Kuczek to €1,788.84 after P.B. Cygon Limited appealed a Rights Commissioner’s decision on annual leave and public holiday pay. The determination was dated 25 March 2010. The company argued a weekly allowance covered Kuczek’s entitlements and asked the Court to reduce the amount to €189.70. The Court rejected the allowance as a substitute for statutory annual leave pay, finding that unpaid time off did not meet the legal requirements. It also found that the company’s records did not establish that public holiday requirements had been met. The Court awarded €1,208.52 for annual leave and €580.32 for four public holidays.
