WRC dismisses five complaints by former Clontarf Castle worker

The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed five complaints brought by former Clontarf Castle sous-chef Stefan Turian, finding that none was well founded. The decision was dated 6 December 2023. Turian alleged that he was denied breaks, required to work excessive hours, not given breaks under an Employment Regulation Order and had improper emergency-tax deductions. The officer found Clontarf Castle Ltd was not subject to an Employment Regulation Order, and that the evidence did not support the other complaints. The officer found the emergency-tax deductions were authorised by law.
