In two separate rulings, the Labour Court has ordered that Bernardine and Thomas McCormack reimburse the €510 to their former au pair, Dayana Jonson Goncalves Generoso. With the assistance of an interpreter, Ms Generoso said that due to the conditions of her work, she decided to resign. Ms Generoso said that as she had only €480 on her she had to borrow €30 from a friend who was collecting her. In its ruling, the Labour Court found it was satisfied that the €510 payment was not consented to by Ms Generoso. He accepted that Ms Generoso was not paid a rate of pay in accordance with the national minimum wage.
