The Workplace Relations Commission rejected John O’Brien’s constructive dismissal complaint against Yuno Energy Ltd, trading as Pre-Pay Power, but upheld a separate complaint over information about his employment terms and ordered the company to pay him €1,000.

Adjudicator Michael McEntee found, on the balance of probabilities, that O’Brien had been subjected to unreasonable managerial behaviour. He concluded it was not serious enough to justify immediate resignation. The decision also noted confusion over the legal basis of the employment contract from recruitment through to the work carried out in practice.
