WRC dismisses cleaner’s constructive dismissal complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed a cleaner’s constructive dismissal complaint, finding that the employer’s conduct did not justify ending the employment contract. The decision was dated 8 April 2016. The worker cited heavy bags of glass bottles, a refused Christmas leave request and dress-code demands. The adjudicator found the employer had dealt reasonably with the safety concern and that the worker had not raised the issues directly with the employer before leaving.
