WRC rejects GoSafe worker’s public holiday complaint

By Niamh Kearney

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC rejected Brian Murphy’s complaint against Road Safety Operations Ireland, t/a GoSafe, over public holiday entitlements. Murphy argued that taking leave on a rostered public holiday should not cost him annual leave, and that hours moved from a Christmas Day shift should qualify for a paid day off. The WRC found GoSafe had properly set out its arrangements and that Murphy had not advanced a statutory claim about the Christmas Day hours practice.
