    Annual Leave and Holiday Pay
Issues covered: Holiday Pay

Background:
The Complainant commenced employment as a driver with the Respondent on 10 December 2022, working 39 hours per week and earning €729.19 gross per week. In June 2023, the Complainant applied for two weeks of annual leave, starting from 4 June 2023. He did not receive his holiday pay in advance, preventing him from proceeding with his planned travel. He requested to reset his annual leave, but this was denied, with the Respondent stating their policy was to pay wages, including holiday pay, on a back week basis. The Complainant argued this violated Section 20(2) of the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997, and related regulations. He sought compensation for non-compliance.
