The adjudicator ruled €16,692 in compensation - six months’ pay for the worker - was 'just and equitable' for the 13-and-a-half years without the Sunday premium

A worker has been awarded over €16,000 after his employer admitted failing to pay him extra for working Sundays in an"oversight" that went on over 13 years.

He said he first raised the issue of a Sunday premium with company director Catherine Leen and a HR officer after a meeting in 2014 and had been told he was"not entitled to it". She said she remembered the 2014 meeting with Mr Cender, adding that she could not remember Sunday premium pay being raised and that she believed all his grievances had been addressed in writing in the letter.

Ms Glazier-Farmer noted that the working time legislation states that an employee required to work on a Sunday"shall be compensated" for the work, and that the precedent in the area required an employment contract to note"clearly and unambiguously that compensation was paid".
