Labour Court rejects Ferriters’ appeal over rest breaks and annual leave

The Labour Court rejected Marguerite and Ciaran Ferriter’s appeal and affirmed the Rights Commissioner’s findings that Damien O’ Toole’s complaints about rest breaks and annual leave were well founded. The determination was dated 29 October 2014. On rest breaks, the Court found the Ferriters’ evidence not credible, citing discrepancies in payslips and unsigned working-time records, and preferred O’ Toole’s account. On annual leave, it found the Ferriters had failed to keep required records and that their documents and evidence were not credible or consistent.
