WRC awards Vera Jariene €1,330.69 net in unpaid wages

The Workplace Relations Commission directed Jan Digital Studios Limited to pay Vera Jariene €1,330.69 net in withheld wages after finding her complaint well founded. The decision was dated 2 August 2023. Ms Jariene worked as a graphic designer for the company for 20 hours a week. She said two periods of wages had gone unpaid and relied on sworn evidence, emails, WhatsApp messages and payslips. The respondent did not attend the hearing, saying it had not been informed in time and had travel commitments. The adjudication officer found reasonable efforts had been made to notify the company and that Ms Jariene had made out her case with her evidence and documents.
