Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC found that Panscape Partition Systems Ltd unlawfully withheld contractual travel-time wages from Michael Forde and awarded €2,069.10 plus €1,000 compensation on one complaint, and €1,943.70 plus €1,000 compensation on the other. The company disputed that two hours’ daily travel pay was contractual and argued the payments were expenses, not wages. The adjudicator rejected those arguments, accepting jurisdiction and finding for Forde on both complaints.
