The Labour Court increased Kristene O’Regan’s Payment of Wages award to €4,612.68 after finding that O’Regan Site Dumpers T/A O’Regan Plant Sales underpaid her over nine weeks. The Court dated its decision 9 July 2024. O’Regan appealed the adjudication officer’s €2,000 award, seeking compensation for the full underpayment. Her position was made redundant on 31 August 2022. The employer did not appeal the finding that her gross wages had fallen from €1,000 to €487.48. The Court calculated the underpayment between 4 June and 10 August 2022 at €4,612.68. It varied the original award to that amount and directed the employer to pay within 42 days.
