The Labour Court upheld international truck driver Vidmantas Mankauskas’s minimum wage appeal and ordered Baku GLS Limited to pay him €3,000 compensation. The determination was signed on 12 September 2016. Mankauskas said his €350 weekly pay fell below the minimum wage when divided by his hours. The company argued that ferry time should not count. The Court found his ferry journeys with his truck between Ireland and France or the UK were travel on official business and counted as working time. It rejected the company’s jurisdiction objection, finding that Mankauskas had applied for the required pay statement.
