Annual Leave Entitlement & Dismissal
If an employee claims they have not received their annual leave entitlement and takes a case, an employer should have detailed records regarding paid annual leave, which they can produce at the inquiry in the Workplace Relations Commission.
If an employer’s book keeper, for example, cannot attend at the Workplace Relations Commission to give evidence and the employer relies on this book keeper as the holder of this knowledge, then an Adjudication officer can direct that the matter proceeds in the absence of a witness of the employer. Detailed records can be of great assistance to an employer to defend a case.
