Masterlink Logistics v Jakub Rudzinski [2016]

Posted In: Case Law
  • Decision Number
    ILCR Determination No. DWT171
  • Legal Body
    Labour Court (LC)
  • Type of Claim / Jurisdiction
    Working Time
Issues covered: Section 28(1), Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997; Sunday Premium

Accordingly, the appellant was awarded compensation to reflect this entitlement.
