Labour Court sets aside dismissal of Sunday-pay complaint and orders €42 arrears

The Labour Court set aside the dismissal of Dagmar Rovnanikova’s Sunday-pay complaint and ordered Errancourt Traders Ltd to pay her €42 in arrears. The determination was dated 17 July 2019. Rovnanikova said she understood she would receive time-and-one-third for Sunday work; the employer said staff received time plus 30% and that it had been unaware of its obligations under an Employment Regulation Order. The Court found the Order required time-and-one-third before July 2011 and concluded that the same rate would have applied during the claim period but for the employer’s breach. It ordered €2 for each of 21 Sundays worked.
