LONDON (Alliance News) - Ryanair Holdings PLC has been ordered to pay EUR8.1 million in damages and EUR200,000 in fines for breaching French labour laws, the BBC reported on Tuesday.
The low-cost carrier was found guilty by a court in Aix-en-Provence of paying workers under Irish contracts in order to avoid making French social security payments, the BBC said.
The case involves staff employed by Ryanair at Marseille airport between 2007 and 2010. The airline contested the original ruling, but lost its appeal.
