The Labour Court overturned the earlier decision rejecting Jim Allen’s Payment of Wages Act claim and ordered Wexford Viking Glass Ltd to pay him €500 compensation. The determination was dated 13 May 2016. The appeal followed a change to the overtime rate announced to Allen and five colleagues in March 2014. The group brought claims under the Act that year; Allen’s five colleagues later settled their claims by agreement with the company.
