The Pensions Ombudsman had received a complaint from a former employee of McAllen Construction Limited that pension deductions had been made from his wages, but had not been remitted to the Construction Workers Pension Scheme. The Pensions Ombudsman requested copies of all payslips relating to the former employee within 14 days. The request was ignored. As a result, proceedings were initiated and a summons served which resulted in today's Court hearing.
Commenting on the case, Pensions Ombudsman Mr. Kenny said;
"It is a requirement that all construction workers be members of the Construction Workers Pension Scheme. While I have many cases where this has not happened, this particular case is much more serious in that the complainant maintains that pension contributions were deducted from his wages but were not remitted by his employer to the pension scheme. Consequently it is important that I have sight of payroll records and payslips to complete my investigation".
