Labour Court rejects Marciniuk’s appeal over Sunday premiums and leave

The Labour Court rejected Marek Marciniuk’s appeal over Sunday premiums and annual leave, finding he had not substantiated either claim. The determination was dated 27 June 2016. The Court accepted that Wicklow Recreational Services Ltd had applied the 25% Sunday premium rate to the shifts at issue and paid annual leave at a rate above the statutory minimum. Marciniuk said he had received no additional premium for Sundays worked from 10 June to 10 July 2014, and that his annual-leave payments did not include a Sunday-premium element. The employer said all premiums due had been paid and that his annual leave was paid at 9.5% of hours worked. The Rights Commissioner’s findings and decision stood.
