The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) ordered Elite Services Security and FacilitiesManagment Ltd to pay security guard Muhammad Iqbal €3,000 compensation after finding it had not paid overtime required under an Employment Regulation Order. The decision was dated 1 December 2022. The WRC found the employer had failed to pay time and a half for hours worked above an average 48-hour week in the roster cycle. Iqbal’s complaint that he had not received notice was not well founded; the records indicated he had received notice. A separate Payment of Wages complaint on the same facts could not proceed because it would amount to double recovery.
