Restaurant ordered to pay 80,000 to 'vulnerable' worker who was paid 1.61 per hour and worked 90-hour weeks
"Vasantkumar Barot claimed he was paid as little as €1.61 per hour and forced to work over 90 hours a week, which is a significant violation of labor laws."
"Barot stated that he was charged €15,000 for a work permit in 2023, which raises concerns about the legality and ethics of employment practices in the restaurant industry."
A former employee of Madhu Foods Limited, Vasantkumar Barot, was awarded nearly €80,000 in compensation after claiming he was paid only €1.61 per hour and forced to work over 90 hours weekly. Barot reported that in 2023, he was charged €15,000 for a work permit and was promised a weekly salary of €570 for a commis chef position. The adjudication hearing by the Workplace Relations Commission addressed these serious allegations of labor exploitation.
