The WRC said it could not make a recommendation on a driver’s dispute over annual leave procedures because the issue affected a body of workers and had national implications. The decision was dated 27 March 2024; the merits were not decided. The driver said he gave four weeks’ notice using a paper form, but was warned and lost a day’s pay after he did not apply through the employer’s app. The transport company said a 2022–2024 pay deal required staff to use advancing technology for leave applications, with employees using their own devices.
