The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Serbain Ioan Chiheri €2,510 in net compensation for unpaid wages and untaken holiday pay, and €504.23 for one week's notice. The WRC decision was dated 12 March 2024. Pharmtrans Direct Limited had delivered pharmaceutical products for Uniphar until its contract ended on 16 June 2023. Chiheri and other drivers were told their wages would not be paid, but continued working after the company offered €500 interim payments. The respondent gave no evidence at the hearing. The WRC found the wage complaint and one notice complaint well founded, while two complaints about rights during notice were not well founded. Complaint CA-00058296-008 was considered under the upheld complaint CA-00058296-004.
