Co-workers at bank knew nothing of second job as bar manager, WRC told
A banking professional who moonlighted for nearly three decades, “pulling pints” at a Dublin pub, was unfairly sacked and denied severance pay because the bar owners “just didn’t want to pay him” his redundancy entitlements, his solicitor has alleged at the WRC.
“They came up with this self-employment contract because they’re in a cost-cutting exercise and it’s expensive to pay an employee statutory redundancy who’s been there for 34 years,” he added.Mr Ecock said he started as a lounge boy at Kavanaghs at the age of 14 and kept working there four nights a week all through college because after losing his father as a teenager he “felt obliged to provide” for his mother in her old age.
“Unfortunately, Mrs Peacock isn’t in good health cant be here to give that evidence,” Ms McCoy told the remote hearing. She said she started by examining the “more expensive” contractors in the pub group – and said Mr Ecock’s €250-a-shift pay made him the best-paid worker on an hourly basis at Kavanaghs after her sister Louise, who was also a proprietary director of the firm.
Mr Ecock’s complaints were brought under the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977, the Redundancy Payments Act 1967, the Payment of Wages Act 1991, the Minimum Notice and Terms and Conditions of Employment Act 1994 and the Organisation of Working Time Act 2004 against the pub’s operating company Pundit Ltd, a subsidiary of N&R Peacock Holdings Ltd.
