The co-founder of a vegan cosmetics company ousted from the firm in 2022 has won over €156,000 for unfair dismissal and unpaid wages.

The awards were made on foot of complaints under the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977 and the Payment of Wages Act 1991 against Human + Kind Ltd, a company marketing vegan skincare products which was co-founded by Jeroen Proos in 2013 and is now in liquidation.

It followed a decision earlier in 2021 by the company’s board to cut Mr Proos’s €126,000-a-year salary between July and September that year after water damage to a shipping container full of merchandise resulted in €300,000 of losses. It was cut again in April that year to €1,500, which he continued to receive until he was dismissed in November 2022, his lawyers told the tribunal.

There was no appearance by the company at a hearing last month. Adjudicator Conor Stokes noted correspondence stating that the firm was in liquidation and that its liquidator did not intend to come.
