Vhi wins WRC case over employee’s constructive dismissal claim

By Orla Quinn

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission found that Aidan Hynes was not constructively dismissed by Vhi Healthcare DAC, rejecting his unfair dismissal complaint. No award was recorded. The decision was dated 19 March 2026. Hynes said workplace concerns left him no alternative but to resign. Vhi said the resignation was voluntary and premature, and it had not had a reasonable opportunity to address his concerns. The adjudication officer found there was no fundamental breach of contract and that Hynes had not meaningfully used the internal procedures before resigning.
