The Labour Court reduced Ronan Galvin’s €9,500 award to €1,800 on R & M Quarries Ltd’s appeal, finding his working-hours complaint not well founded but upholding his annual-leave complaint. The determination was dated 16 February 2012. Galvin, a truck driver, said six days when no work was available were counted as annual leave. The Court found he averaged 45.29 hours a week during the four-month reference period, below the 48-hour limit. It found the six days had not been granted in line with statutory requirements and awarded €1,800 compensation.
