The WRC required a security company to pay a security guard €500 for unpaid wages, €133 in outstanding holiday pay and €100 compensation for the holiday-pay breach. The decision was dated 2 February 2023. The guard said he worked up to 10 hours a day but was paid for a 37.5-hour week. The company said he was recruited for 37.5 hours a week and that extra hours were unauthorised. The adjudicator found the guard’s evidence more credible and noted that the company produced no wage slips or working-time records. The decision required the company to make the three payments.
