B&B worker awarded €4,300 over low wage

THE Labour Court has recommended that the operators of a Co Clare B&B pay a former worker over €4,300 after the woman took an action over being paid €2.50 per hour for six months.

The Labour Court ruled that Armin Grefkes and Bernadette Moloney Grefkes of Drumcreehy House, Ballyvaughan, pay German national Marika Lubig €4,346 after she took the action over not being paid the national minimum wage.

During her time at Drumcreehy House, from March to September 2009, Ms Lubig was paid €100 for a 40-hour week.
