WRC awards general assistant €500 over missed breaks

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission awarded a general assistant €500 after finding a convenience store failed to ensure she received proper breaks. The decision was dated 25 January 2018. The worker’s complaint about a pay cut was outside the time limit and the merits were not decided. Her separate complaint about notice of reduced hours failed because the WRC found that text messages met the notification requirement. An Industrial Relations Act complaint did not proceed to a hearing.
