Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found that Cians On Bridge Street unlawfully withheld wages and holiday pay from chef Damian Basak, directing the company to pay him €2,990.13 net compensation. The decision was dated 9 August 2023. Basak complained that wages and statutory holiday entitlements had not been paid during or at the end of his employment. The WRC found that €1,786.13 in wages had been withheld, that €840 remained due for annual leave, and that €364 was due for public holidays. The company did not attend the hearing; the WRC proceeded after finding reasonable efforts had been made to notify it, and considered Basak’s sworn evidence, payslips and bank statement.
