Gráinne Sherlock was awarded €112,000 by the Workplace Relations Commission over her unfair dismissal complaint against Pluralsight Ireland Ltd, in a decision published on 16 July 2024.

The complaint concerned the handling of her redundancy during staff cuts in 2022. Adjudicator Kara Turner found a lack of clarity about the restructuring decision and was not satisfied that the selection criteria were objective.

The award included a €20,000 bonus and a €6,775 cash equity payment, but not stock options. The adjudicator deducted 15 weeks’ pay and applied a 50% reduction over the final five months of the calculable period.
