Labour Court upholds decision on Marites Nebrija’s minimum-wage complaint

The Labour Court upheld a Rights Commissioner’s decision that it had no jurisdiction to hear Marites Nebrija’s minimum-wage complaint against Angela Farrell and Angela Farrell SNR. The determination was signed on 13 October 2011. The Court found Nebrija had not requested a written statement of her average hourly pay, as required before the dispute could be referred to a Rights Commissioner. The merits of the alleged underpayment were not decided. Nebrija had appealed the Rights Commissioner’s decision. The employer did not attend the Labour Court hearing.
