The Workplace Relations Commission awarded a plumber €10,000 for unfair dismissal by A Construction sub-contractor, finding the company stopped providing him with work after a dispute over overtime and a company credit card. The decision was dated 25 September 2017.
The WRC also awarded €2,337.76 for failure to provide written employment terms, €440 for unlawful pay deductions and €1,168.88 for minimum notice. The company said the plumber had been laid off and had used the card for a personal bill. The officer found the company had not supported its lay-off claim with timely documentation or followed a dismissal or disciplinary policy.
