Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC recommended that a building company pay a worker €2,000 after finding he was dismissed without due process for declining night work. The recommendation was dated 13 January 2023. The worker had worked daytime hours for nearly six months before being asked to switch to nights. The WRC found he had established those hours through custom and practice and was entitled to consultation about the change. The company did not attend the hearing.
