WRC awards Miriam Purcell €412 over missing employment terms

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) awarded Miriam Purcell €412 after finding her employer had not provided written terms of employment. Her redundancy and employment-protection complaints failed. The decision, dated 6 August 2024, followed complaints against St Johns Girls And Boys Infants School After School Club. The respondent accepted that Purcell had not received a contract, saying a prepared copy was never given to her after the school principal went on maternity leave. Purcell also challenged her redundancy payment, but could not explain how the €1,197.89 she received was incorrect. Her employment-protection complaint failed after no evidence was introduced in support of it.
