The Workplace Relations Commission ordered Austin Byrne Agnelto Ltd to pay Jade Barolits €1,540 net for unlawfully withheld wages and €1,008 compensation for failing to provide written employment terms. The decision was dated 27 September 2023. Barolits worked as a retail assistant for an average of 18 hours a week. The WRC found that €1,540 was due for unpaid hours she had worked and hours she had been promised during a shop refurbishment. It also found that she had not received written terms of employment and awarded four weeks’ wages as compensation for that breach. That €1,008 is compensation for breach of statutory rights, not wage arrears. The holiday-pay part of her wages complaint was not well-founded because the evidence did not establish her entitlement.
