The Labour Court found that J & J Retail Limited Trading As Jack & Jones breached working time law by failing to provide additional pay for Jake Quinn’s Sunday work, and varied his award to €300.38 for economic loss plus €500 compensation. The determination, dated 30 August 2023, followed the employer’s appeal of an Adjudication Officer’s decision awarding Quinn €10,725. The employer accepted there had been a breach and disputed only the compensation amount. The parties agreed Quinn worked 82.07 Sunday hours at an hourly rate of €11. The Court calculated his economic loss using a Sunday premium of €3.66 per hour, producing €300.38, and ordered that sum plus €500 compensation to be paid to him.
