The Labour Court awarded Javier Fernandez Torres €768 after finding Sitting Tree Limited T/A Harbour Bar failed to give him a written statement of employment terms within two months. The Court’s determination was dated 28 November 2022. Mr Torres, a bartender, said the statement he received about three months after starting work did not include his normal working hours. The company accepted it issued the statement on 3 September 2021, but argued the delay was trivial. The Court found the required statement had not been provided within the statutory timeframe and awarded four weeks’ compensation, calculated at 16 hours a week and €12 an hour.
