Labour Court recommends one week’s pay for Clondalkin Employment Initiative worker

The Labour Court recommended that Clondalkin Employment Initiative pay a worker one week’s normal pay in full and final settlement of a dispute over unpaid wages. The recommendation was dated 1 September 2009. The worker said an agreed week of paid time off in lieu, accrued through time worked or spent training, remained unused when her employment ended. Management said outstanding leave entitlements had been paid. The Court considered the time off separate from holiday entitlements and said its monetary value should have been paid when her employment ended. It considered the worker’s calculation probably more accurate, while noting uncertainty about the precise sum due.
