Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC found that a GP surgery owed a receptionist unpaid wages, annual leave pay and redress for unfair dismissal, with the decision stating that the total owed was €3,184.25. The decision was dated 22 November 2016. The surgery did not attend the hearing or make submissions. The adjudicator found €2,006.50 in unpaid net wages and €375 in annual leave pay were due. The unpaid wages amounted to a breach of contract that entitled the receptionist to treat herself as dismissed; the adjudicator awarded €802.75 in redress. Her public holiday pay complaint was not well founded.
