WRC recommends €100 and clearer bonus criteria for warehouse manager

The WRC recommended that a company pay a warehouse manager €100 in final settlement of a dispute over a bonus reduced from €1,000 to €800. Adjudication Officer Shay Henry dated the recommendation on 2 July 2026. The worker said annual bonuses had been paid for years and no agreement had been reached to reduce his rate. The company said his contract did not provide for a bonus and that a collective agreement linked payments to sales targets. The WRC found that he had been treated somewhat differently, though the extent was not identified in his contract or a separate agreement. It recommended that the company and union identify appropriate criteria for future bonuses and pay €100.
