The WRC found Gordon Forde’s complaint against Three Steps Ltd about minimum pay under a Sectoral Employment Order was not well founded. The decision was dated 15 December 2025. Forde, a social care worker, said he selected the construction sector order on the complaint form because it required him to choose a legal basis and he did not know which legislation applied. Three Steps Ltd said it was not aware of an applicable order and was reviewing staff pay. Forde confirmed that neither he nor the company was covered by a Sectoral Employment Order or Registered Employment Agreement. The adjudication officer found the complaint misconceived because neither side was covered by an order or registered agreement, and decided it was not well founded.
