The Workplace Relations Commission ordered Mde Installations to pay Karl Bird €1,794 after finding the company unlawfully deducted his wages for training costs. The decision is dated 2 February 2022. Bird worked for the company for 11 days before being dismissed. Mde Installations said his contract allowed it to deduct €1,800 in training costs if he left during training, and it recovered €1,794 from his wages. The adjudicator found the clause allowed a deduction if Bird resigned, but he had been dismissed. The deduction was therefore unauthorised, and taking all his wages was not fair or reasonable.
