Labour Court rejects Rutledge appeal and directs €3,000 annual leave payment

The Labour Court rejected Rutledge Recruitment and Training Limited Trading As Rutledge Recruitment’s appeal and directed it to pay Kamil Lemanski €3,000 compensation. The determination was signed on 20 October 2015. Lemanski received no paid annual leave for hours worked during the 2013–14 leave year. The employer argued that he had forfeited his leave by not taking it during that year. The Court said the payment was due because the employer had failed to ensure he took his statutory paid leave entitlement.
