Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found that Marius Oprea’s complaint against Murphy Fire Protection Specialists Limited was not well-founded. Its decision was dated 29 January 2024. Oprea sought payment of two invoices totalling €2,900 for work he completed for the company. The company said he was self-employed and the dispute concerned invoices, not wages. Both sides agreed he was self-employed and the company had subcontracted work to him. The officer found Oprea was not engaged under a contract of employment as defined by the Payment of Wages Act, so he could not pursue a complaint under it. The complaint was found not well-founded.
