Labour Court dismisses Agnieszka Silarska’s appeal over Sunday work

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court dismissed Agnieszka Silarska’s appeal against Emc Health Care Limited, finding her penalisation complaint not well founded. The determination was dated 26 September 2012. Silarska said she was dismissed after refusing to work Sundays, which she regarded as a weekly rest day. EMC said she had agreed to work full time, including one Sunday a month, after completing her FÁS course, and was dismissed when she refused. The Court found her contract allowed Sunday work and that EMC had not sought her cooperation in breaching the Act. The Court affirmed the separate €144 award for her working-time complaint, which was not appealed.
