Beautician denied card tips worth thousands of euro, tribunal finds
Summary
In a tribunal decision on 29 September 2025, the employment tribunal ordered Good Place Beauty Ltd to pay Joselyn Moreira over €11,000 for unpaid wages and tips. Moreira, a Chilean‑trained veterinarian who arrived in Ireland in 2024 to learn English, began work at the Dublin salon on 9 November 2024 after being offered €18 an hour. She worked long hours, including two hours on Christmas Day 2025, and claimed that the owner advised her not to have a contract to reduce tax. The tribunal found the employer breached the Payment of Wages Act 1991 and the Terms of Employment (Information) Act 1995, ruling that Moreira was owed €5,103 in wages and €3,000 in tips. The final award was a net sum of €7,700 plus €3,312 in compensation for the contract breach, totaling €11,012.
