The Workplace Relations Commission ordered BGS Security Ltd, trading as BGSS, to pay security officer Kipkorir Francis Kiptoo €32,713.96 after finding employment rights breaches. The award comprised €4,213.96 in unpaid wages, €26,500 for non-compliance with the security sector employment regulation order and €2,000 for failing to provide a satisfactory contract of employment.

Adjudicator Michael McEntee said the company had not attended the hearing or rebutted the detailed evidence supporting the wage claim. The decision described the company’s conduct as “blatant flouting” of the pay order. The ruling brought the total awarded to former BGSS staff since May 2024 to €140,560.71, according to the report.
