WRC rejects general operative’s wage complaint as out of time

By Ruairí Dolan

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission found that a general operative’s complaint about unpaid wages, overtime and public holiday pay was referred outside the six-month time limit. In a decision dated 16 November 2016, it said an error on the original complaint form did not amount to reasonable cause to extend the limit; the merits were not decided. The plant hire contractor said pay reflected seasonal working hours, the employee had missed some days and a deduction followed missing equipment.
