Labour Court overturns Sueann Moore’s unpaid wages ruling

The Labour Court overturned a ruling in Sueann Moore’s favour, finding that her employer, Ringsend Community Services Forum CLG, did not owe wages for a period when she did not attend her contractual workplace. The Court’s decision was dated 7 August 2024. Moore said she worked her full hours from home from 10 to 31 May 2021 and was not paid. The employer said she refused instructions to attend and disputed that she worked from home. Moore also cited health and safety concerns and an unresolved workplace grievance. The Court found there was no agreement allowing her to work from home and no evidence that she performed her contractual duties there. It found the complaint was not well founded and overturned the Adjudication Officer’s decision.
