WRC rejects Patricia McGlynn’s €89,063 wages claim against DePaul Ireland

The Workplace Relations Commission found Patricia McGlynn’s Payment of Wages Act complaint against DePaul Ireland was not well founded, so it made no award. McGlynn, a chef, claimed she was owed salary increments and estimated the missed payments at €89,063 gross. DePaul Ireland said her contract set out a salary scale but did not promise annual increments, which depended on available funding. The adjudication officer found McGlynn had agreed to salary adjustment measures in 2012, including frozen increments, and that no increments were properly payable under the Act.
