WRC declines to hear minimum wage complaint over missing pay statement request

The Workplace Relations Commission found it had no jurisdiction to hear Tatyanne De Oliveira Margon Maciel’s complaint against Lcmn Catering Limited. The decision was dated 16 January 2024; the merits were not decided. Maciel said she had not been paid for all the hours she worked and that her pay fell below the national minimum wage. The employer said payroll setup was delayed because she did not yet have a valid PPS number and offered to pay outstanding wages once she provided it. The officer said the law required her to request an average hourly-rate statement before bringing the complaint. Maciel confirmed she had not requested one, so the officer declined jurisdiction.
