WRC awards Ian Walsh €3,389.35 for unpaid wages

The Workplace Relations Commission found Cge Electrical Ltd owed Ian Walsh €3,389.35 in unpaid wages and holiday pay. The WRC decision was dated 3 March 2023. Walsh worked as an electrical supervisor from June to September 2021. He sought €1,928.95 in wages and €1,460.40 in holiday pay after leaving the job, saying he had repeatedly not been paid on time. A company director confirmed the amounts were due but said the business had ceased trading. The parties agreed at the hearing that payment would be made within two weeks, with the company’s representative discussing payment by someone acting for the company or the director personally. Walsh later told the WRC the money had not been paid by the agreed date and asked for a decision. The adjudication officer found the complaint well founded and awarded the full €3,389.35 sought.
