"A Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) adjudicator said the "particularly egregious" non-payment of wages to eight staff of Unity Healthcare Services Ltd was "exacerbated by repeated empty promises of payment"."
"Healthcare workers from Zimbabwe who said they were left "begging" from relatives or living in "freezing" accommodation after paying thousands in fees to secure jobs in Ireland which never materialised have won orders for a whole year's wages each."
Eight healthcare workers from Zimbabwe secured employment through Unity Healthcare Services Ltd in Ireland but faced severe hardship when promised jobs failed to materialize. Despite paying substantial recruitment fees upfront, the workers were left without income, forcing them to rely on relatives for support and endure inadequate living conditions. A Workplace Relations Commission adjudicator ruled the wage non-payment particularly egregious, compounded by repeated empty promises of payment. The workers collectively won orders totaling nearly a quarter of a million euro in back wages, with each receiving approximately one year's salary as compensation for the employer's failures.
