Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC dismissed Adelano Mesquita Sampaio’s complaint against Enforge Limited t/a Jamie's Italian Restaurant, finding it not well founded in a decision dated 24 February 2026. Sampaio said his contract was for 39 hours a week but he was given fewer hours. The adjudicator found that the contract capped rostered hours at 39 without guaranteeing them. Sampaio’s weekend unavailability, alongside his second restaurant job, impeded his ability to take 39 hours at Enforge. The decision also noted the restaurant was quiet and few staff were working their full hours.
