Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Greg Caffrey:

The evidence I have anecdotally is that it is a discouraging factor when any employees who enter any employment are paid significantly less than their counterparts for carrying out the same level of work. If they do not carry out the same level of work, they are subject to the same disciplinary processes and sanctions as the comparable workers.
