Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court upheld Olga Bartasevica’s appeal over breaks and roster notice, finding breaches of both working-time rules but awarding her €100. It varied the Rights Commissioner’s decision on 16 December 2014. The Rights Commissioner had awarded Bartasevica €2,000 for complaints under Sections 11, 14, 19, 21 and 23. Bartasevica’s appeal concerned only Sections 12 and 17. The Court said she could not detail how often she missed a full 15-minute break, and that she had accepted and been paid for extra hours without telling her employer she did not wish to work them. The employer, Fateh Djimani T/A Abrakebabra Maynooth, did not attend the hearing.
