The WRC declared it had no jurisdiction to hear a retail assistant’s unfair dismissal complaint, finding that her demotion did not amount to dismissal under the statutory definition. The merits were not decided. The decision was dated 7 July 2017. The retail assistant had worked for the store since 1997. She alleged that her demotion to sales assistant in April 2016 was an unfair dismissal. The store argued that her employment had not ended, and the adjudication officer agreed that the complaint could not be heard as a dismissal claim.
