The Labour Court set aside an adjudicator’s decision and awarded Ms Patrycja Kwidzinska €600 after finding PMC Painting Contractors Limited breached Sunday-work compensation rules 26 times. In a determination signed on 10 January 2022, the Court accepted Kwidzinska’s evidence that she worked 70 hours on Sundays without extra pay. The company provided no records showing it had complied with the law. The company had argued that alleged illegality made Kwidzinska’s employment contract unenforceable, but the Court found the allegation unsupported and concluded she could pursue her appeal.
