An Employment Tribunal in Belfast has awarded £415.14 to a former Booking Office Assistant dismissed without notice by Rosnashane Holdings Ltd, a company that has since ceased trading.

Anna Marie Darragh, who worked remotely for Rosnashane Holdings from 14 January 2025, was dismissed without notice on 12 May 2025. She subsequently lodged a breach of contract claim on 1 July 2025, seeking payment of outstanding notice pay and accrued holiday pay. As of the tribunal hearing, no payment of any kind had been made to her.

The tribunal, presided over by Employment Judge Wimpress and sitting with members Mr H McConnell and Mr J McCloskey, heard the case on 30 April 2026 in Belfast. Darragh represented herself, while the respondent company was represented by its Managing Director, Angela Boyle.

The central dispute was whether calculations should be based on the hourly rate of £11.44 or the National Minimum Wage rate of £12.21, which came into effect on 1 April 2025, and whether Darragh had accrued 18 or 22 hours of annual leave. The tribunal determined that the higher rate applied, as it had been in force for approximately six weeks before her dismissal. The tribunal also accepted Darragh's calculation of 22 accrued holiday hours as accurate.

Darragh worked typically 12 hours per week across three days. The tribunal found she was entitled to one week's notice pay at the updated minimum wage rate, amounting to £146.52, and holiday pay of £268.62 based on 22 hours at £12.21 per hour.

Rosnashane Holdings is insolvent and has stopped trading, though it has not entered formal administration or liquidation. The judgment, issued on 15 May 2026, is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
