The Workplace Relations Commission found that a technology company unlawfully deducted €27,429 from a sales executive’s wages and directed it to pay that amount as compensation under the Payment of Wages Act 1991. The executive had resigned in August 2024 with the money still owed. The company’s identity was withheld in the decision.

The WRC heard that the executive had worked for the company from April 2023 on a €75,000 annual base salary plus commission. Adjudicator Catherine Byrne said it was “extremely regrettable” that he had to spend so much time pursuing wages that were not in dispute.
