Workplace Relations Commission ·

A WRC adjudication officer recommended that an employer pay a worker €1,153.60, equivalent to two weeks’ salary, after it failed to engage with her about her termination. The recommendation was dated 23 July 2026. The worker said her employer dismissed her by unilaterally cutting her hours and did not respond when she sought reasons. The employer did not attend the hearing. The officer cited the lack of engagement and the worker’s short service in recommending compensation.
