WRC rejects subcontractor’s unpaid-invoice claim for lack of jurisdiction

By Niamh Kearney

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission found it had no jurisdiction over a subcontractor’s unpaid-invoice claim against a construction company because there was no contract of employment. The claim failed for want of jurisdiction; the merits were not decided. The decision was dated 23 November 2016. The complainant said he was a self-employed plumber who had issued invoices for €800 and €200. The company did not appear at the hearing.
