A WRC adjudication officer recommended that a sports club pay a chef €500 compensation after finding it had not given him a written statement of his employment terms. The decision was dated 10 October 2017. The chef said he repeatedly asked for a contract and never received a corrected version of a draft containing errors. The club accepted that it had not issued a contract, citing management changes and staff absence. Both sides agreed that no written statement had been provided. The officer found that the chef suffered no financial loss.
