The Labour Court set aside an adjudicator’s decision and awarded Ms Patrycja Kwidzinska €2,000 after finding PMC Painting Contractors Limited breached daily-rest rules 18 times. In a determination signed on 10 January 2022, the Court accepted Kwidzinska’s evidence that she did not receive the required 11 hours’ rest. The company did not attend the hearing and provided no records to show 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 was unsupported by evidence.
