Builder's tea not to blame for crocked laptop, WRC told
Summary
Barry Cull, a former site manager at BHA Construction Ltd, claims that the company unlawfully docked €620 from his final pay for a laptop damaged by spilled tea and that he was not paid €750 for his last three days of work. He says the payroll administrator, Marie Murphy, never told him he would have to pay for the replacement and that no written agreement existed. Murphy, representing the company, maintains that Cull admitted the damage and agreed to the deduction, and that the laptop was company property. She also says the time‑keeping system recorded only two of Cull's three days, and that the company policy required employees to contact head office if clock‑in failed. The tribunal heard cross‑examination from both parties and will issue a decision in writing. The hearing was held at the Workplace Relations Commission.
