That’s horrendous shit. I’m confused though – has the employer essentially gotten away with paying out for almost half the hours worked simply by not keeping records of those hours, despite the worker’s testimony? And why is such conduct before the WRC and not a criminal court? Is there nothing to stop the company from doing this again, or to apply checks?

Great stuff from the MRCI here, and very brave of the lad to pursue this, despite so much of his life in Ireland being held in the hands of his employer.

Should the company directors or owners not be prosecuted for exploitation and fraud? They clearly weren’t paying his taxes, or keeping his employment official?

Worth knowing that is not an uncommon practice in many ethnic restaurants up and down the country.

Surely the restaurant will go into liquidation now because of it.
Shame on anyone who will go in there now knowingly

Usually the owners of restaurants like this one will come out and say “you don’t undertand how hard we’ve been hit financially” when stuff like electricity gets even slightly more expensive
