Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission found Dumitru Suloschi's unfair dismissal complaint against J. P. Ryan Limited was not well founded. The decision was dated 7 November 2022. Suloschi, an HGV driver, said he was dismissed after refusing to work longer hours. The company said he could no longer drive because of penalty points. The adjudication officer accepted that the company genuinely believed he would be disqualified from driving and found that Suloschi waited 6.5 months to respond to its letters, amounting to abandoning his position.
