WRC rules it has no jurisdiction over dental clinic worker’s dismissal complaint

By Tadhg O'Sullivan

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission found it had no jurisdiction over a worker’s unfair dismissal complaint because she was self-employed rather than an employee under the Unfair Dismissals Act. The decision was dated 23 June 2016; the merits were not decided. The dental clinic said she provided services under a contract for services, invoiced it monthly and had sought self-employed status. The worker confirmed she was self-employed and submitted monthly invoices to the clinic.
