In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 and Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act 1991following the referral of the complaint to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint.
Background:
The Complaint is that the Respondent employer failed to pay wages owed to the Complainant at the end of his employment. The Complainant stated that he worked for the Respondent from September 2016 to February 2018. At the end of his employment, he was owed wages and holiday pay in the sum of €990.

In accordance with the provisions of the Act, and based on the uncontested evidence of the Complainant, I find the Complainant’s complaint to be well founded and I require the Respondent to pay to the Complainant the sum of €500 within six weeks of the date of this decision.
