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.
