Motoring school says Roadstone is liable for pay equity claims

Hearing Or Decision
Summary
The Irish School of Motoring Recruitment (ISM Recruitment) has told the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) that Roadstone, a construction firm, must pay more than €55,000 to resolve pay‑equity claims by agency lorry drivers. ISM says it was unaware of a 2022 pay rise given to Roadstone's direct employees until drivers it placed lodged statutory complaints. The drivers – Wojciech Krajewski, Jan Brocki and George Evans – allege that direct employees worked an hour less per week, received training costs, a €350‑per‑year mobile phone allowance, bonus pay and bereavement pay that the agency drivers were denied. They also claim direct employees received 3.25 % pay rises in 2021 and 2022, which the agency drivers say were withheld in breach of their rights. ISM has been ordered to pay €13,000 for three statutory claims and has sought to recover the €55,458.61 from Roadstone.
