The Workplace Relations Commission found that a third level institution was within its rights to redeploy Mr. X from the school of business to electronics, and declined to recommend his return to his former position. The decision was dated 22 March 2017. Mr. X said the transfer was imposed without proper consultation or clear selection criteria and that his grievance was not heard. The institution said it needed a technician in electronics and offered to canvass the wider technician group and assess suitability for a backfill. The adjudication officer found the proposed canvass and suitability assessment reasonable in the circumstances.
