The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Kenneth Byrne €300 after finding that Cm Bard Tavern Bar Square made an unauthorised rent deduction from his wages. It also awarded him €200 over a breaks complaint and directed the employer to provide kitchen staff with breaks. The decision was dated 18 December 2024. The WRC rejected Byrne’s claims concerning public holiday entitlement, annual leave, public holiday compensation and a change to his employment terms. The respondent disputed his claim of a further €218 deduction, for which the WRC said no evidence had been provided.
