- The company must suspend the activities covered by the order for two months.
- It has been fined €315,000.
- Inspectors said payroll and working-time records were missing for 10 employees.
- An earlier investigation resulted in a €73,000 fine.
- Failure to comply with the suspension order is a criminal offence.
The haulier was also fined €315,000 after inspectors said it had failed to provide payroll and working-time records for 10 employees.
The case concerns a haulier that again failed to provide evidence that its drivers had been paid in accordance with legal requirements.
Inspectors said the company had not supplied documents including payslips, proof of wage payments and working-time records. Without them, the authority could not establish whether employees had received at least the statutory minimum wage for every hour worked.
According to the inspectorate, an earlier penalty had not resulted in compliance. It therefore imposed a higher fine and ordered the company to halt the activities covered by the decision.
Records missing for 10 employees
The company failed to provide mandatory employment records for 10 employees, the inspectorate said.
The missing documents included payslips, proof that wages had been paid and records of working hours. The inspectorate said their absence made it impossible to determine whether the employees had been paid at least the statutory minimum wage.
The company was fined €315,000 for the breaches.
Earlier case resulted in €73,000 fine
The operator had previously been investigated over similar failings. In that case, inspectors were unable to establish whether nine employees had received the minimum wage for all the hours they had worked. The investigation resulted in a €73,000 fine.
Further concerns emerged in 2025 during a routine roadside inspection of one of the company’s vehicles. A subsequent review found that its records remained incomplete.
Inspectors again said they lacked the information needed to determine whether 10 employees had been paid correctly.
Two-month suspension order
The labour inspectorate ordered the company to suspend the activities covered by the decision for two months to prevent further breaches.
Failure to comply with the order is a criminal offence. The authority said it would monitor whether the employer observed the suspension.
Inspectorate encourages reports of workplace breaches
The inspectorate said it regularly identifies breaches of rules intended to ensure fair working conditions. It encouraged people to report unfair, unsafe or unhealthy working conditions.
Reports may be submitted through the inspectorate’s website or by telephone. The contact numbers should be checked against the original source before publication to ensure they are presented in the correct international format.
