Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC found a driver’s wage complaint well founded and awarded him €1,200 in unpaid wages and €96 in holiday pay. The decision was dated 15 November 2017. The haulage contractor did not attend the hearing or submit evidence. The officer accepted the driver’s account despite limited documents, noting his difficulty establishing the contractor’s address and initial language difficulties when allowing the claim to proceed despite the time limit.
