So an employee took 2 hours off a week to get his child from school – this occurred for approx 4 years

During that time the employer was deducting the time from his holiday pay as the employer said this was agreed at the time (the employee had been with him for 20 years). After leaving his job the employee was paid out his holiday pay and noted it was substantially less than he was expecting and claimed to state he originally offered to make up the time or have it deducted from his wages.

He was awarded $8000

So let’s review the facts briefly again

• There was no agreement in writing
• 2 hours per week was taken off – both parties agreed that
• The result of the award was the small business had to pay $8000 for time not worked

So another example of the need to have written proof of agreements
