Hearing Or Decision
Summary
The Workplace Relations Commission ordered Layer Digital Solutions Ltd to pay former executive Paul Cunningham over €35,000 for unpaid wages and notice pay. Cunningham, representing himself, claimed he was owed two months' salary, a month's pay in lieu of notice, and holiday entitlements. His gross monthly pay was €10,416.67. The employer conceded a debt of €31,250.01 for the two months' salary and notice pay, plus €3,807.50 for holiday pay, totaling €35,057.51. The WRC adjudicator, Conor Stokes, noted that wages under the Payment of Wages Act include all emoluments, such as holiday pay and notice pay. Stokes found Cunningham's complaint well founded and directed Layer to pay the full amount, less any lawful deductions. The decision was published after a remote hearing in late October 2023.
