WRC orders Mercado 52 to pay worker €1,753.84 in unpaid wages

The WRC ordered Sherardia Limited t/a Mercado 52 to pay former sous chef Alex Jose Dos Santos €1,753.84 after upholding his complaint about unpaid final wages. The decision was dated 4 June 2024. Dos Santos said late wage payments made it difficult to manage his affairs and that his final pay, including accumulated holiday pay, was not deposited despite a payslip being issued. The respondent did not attend the hearing. The adjudicator accepted Dos Santos’s unchallenged account and found that final monies due when his employment ended had not been paid.
