The Workplace Relations Commission awarded former sales assistant Scott Howard €2,080 gross, equivalent to four weeks’ pay, after finding MCD Home and Garden had not given him a written statement of his employment terms. The decision was dated 9 February 2022. Howard said he had requested a contract but received nothing in writing. The respondent did not attend the hearing, and the WRC proceeded after finding it had been notified. It accepted reasonable cause for Howard’s late complaint and found that he had not received the required written statement. Howard withdrew his discrimination complaint and a duplicate terms complaint. The WRC upheld the remaining terms complaint and awarded four weeks’ pay.
