Personnel Today
Hundreds of pilots have filed a group claim against Ryanair over unpaid holiday pay.
Lutz had been engaged by an agency, Storm Global, and both Ryanair and the agency insisted he was self-employed.
A tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal had previously found that he was a worker for Ryanair and an agency worker of Storm Global.
“In Great Britain, unpaid holiday pay claims are typically limited to maximum two years of back pay but, importantly, this restriction is excluded when the reason for underpayment was a mislabelling of the individual’s status.
“This means this type of holiday pay claim can cover unpaid wages since employment began, resulting in significant compensation.
