WRC dismisses health worker’s Equal Status complaint over employment dispute

By Eimear Byrne

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC dismissed a health worker’s Equal Status complaint against a public body because the dispute concerned her employment and fell outside the Acts’ remit. The merits were not decided.

The worker said conflict followed an inquiry about her pre-employment screening and that she resigned in April 2016. The decision, dated 2 September 2016, found that the matter should have been investigated under the Employment Equality Acts.
