Labour Court recommends Neodata’s 1996 vacation schedule

In 1996, the Labour Court recommended that Neodata Services Limited’s proposed vacation schedule be accepted, with flexibility for floating and emergency days and a review at year end. Its recommendation was dated 30 April 1996. The dispute concerned annual leave during seasonal production peaks and the number of staff who could take leave during Listowel race week. Manufacturing, Science, Finance sought leave for some staff during peak periods and a higher allowance for race week. Neodata said it needed its permanent workforce available to meet production standards and protect its contract.
