Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended that J Donohoe Ltd include average overtime earnings in drivers’ holiday pay when the overtime is regular and rostered, pending a new payment method. The recommendation was dated 28 September 2005 and applies from the current leave year. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union also sought to include meal allowances in holiday pay. The Court rejected that claim, finding the allowance reimbursed costs incurred while travelling away from base. The parties were to assess whether overtime was regular and rostered by looking at the preceding two years.
