WRC rules it lacks jurisdiction over minimum wage complaint about work in Poland

The Workplace Relations Commission ruled it had no jurisdiction over Marcin Nastawny’s complaint alleging that Keely Group Limited paid him below Ireland’s minimum wage. The decision, dated 22 April 2026, found Irish law did not apply and dismissed the complaint as not well founded; it did not determine whether he was underpaid. Nastawny argued that Irish law applied, citing his Irish employer and payroll arrangements. Keely Group denied the allegation and said the role was based in Poland, where Polish law applied. The WRC found his habitual place of work was Poland and the circumstances did not establish a closer connection to Irish law.
