Workers may lose out on holidays
Peninsula Ireland, an employment law and health consultancy, said it had received more than 1,000 calls from employers over the last five days asking how to deal with employees who fail to return from annual leave due to the travel disruption.
According to the National Employment Rights Authority, “with regard to an employee being unable to present for work, regardless of the circumstances, there is no legal entitlement for that employee to be paid”.
