The Labour Court awarded Monika Smulska €2,046.40 after finding Mobile Phone Repair Specialists (Enniscorthy) Ltd denied her 12 days’ annual leave and her right to two weeks’ continuous leave. The determination was signed on 4 June 2014 and varied a Rights Commissioner decision. The company appealed, saying Smulska had received 8.5 days’ leave in 2012 and 10 days in 2013. The Court accepted her account, finding the company had not kept the required records and its evidence was less reliable. The award included €1,046.40 for the value of the withheld leave and €1,000 for the loss of the opportunity to take leave.
