In February 2018 the Sunday Times described the working and pay conditions of Accenture staff who were working for Google and who in reality were being directly employed and paid by recruitment company Hays whilst their recruitment was being managed by Accenture. Living Wage activists argue an €11.90 hourly minimum is required for a decent standard of living in Ireland, yet the workers were receiving less than this. In the week following the Sunday Times revelations the Irish press reported staff received an extra 5% pay for evening work and the company allowed staff return home via taxi paid for with a company account instead of the previous system of direct employee payment that was reimbursed several weeks later. “I can now confirm that all our Irish staff are paid more than the Living Wage,” stated Alex Ross, head of media and communications for Accenture Europe, Middle East, and Africa.
