The Workplace Relations Commission upheld José Julián Perea Cartagena’s complaint that Clinton Retail Ltd t/a Butlers Homeware Ltd made an unauthorised €399 deduction from his final wages. The employer said it deducted wages over six cash shortages totalling €600, but accepted it had not notified him beforehand. The adjudication officer found no evidence the deduction was contractually allowed, fair and reasonable, or preceded by required written notice, and ordered repayment of €399.
