The Workplace Relations Commission ordered Layer Digital Solutions Ltd, trading as Layer, to pay former quality assurance manager Polina Andreeva €21,307.67 for two months' unpaid salary at €6,916.66 a month and a further four weeks' pay in lieu of notice. Andreeva resigned on 29 May 2023 after an "unexplained failure" to pay her salary for the preceding two months, and she was not paid during her four‑week notice period. The adjudicator found the company had made an unlawful deduction from her €1,596.15‑a‑week contracted salary for April 2023 up to 29 May 2023. He awarded €1,730.22 for non‑payment of unused annual leave entitlements, and €6,384.60 for the failure to pay her during the notice period. The total awards against Layer for this claim amount to €21,307.67.
