An executive whose yearly earnings have topped €275,000 at recruitment company, CPL Resources plc, has failed in her unlawful wage deduction claim against the company. The Labour Court was told that Ms Cuesta Carpio’s overall earnings in 2018 were €278,000; €253,000 in 2017 and €211,000 in 2016. Mr Foley said that as a result the alteration of Ms Cuesta Carpio’s commission scheme could not be considered an unlawful deduction. Ms Cuesta Carpio was appealing a ruling of the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) that had earlier dismissed her claim. Mr Foley concluded that Ms Cuesta Carpio’s appeal cannot succeed and the decision of the WRC Adjudication Officer is affirmed.
