WRC rejects teacher’s constructive dismissal complaint against college

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC rejected a teacher’s constructive dismissal complaint against a college, finding that he could and should have used its internal grievance procedures before resigning. The decision was dated 10 November 2017. The teacher said changes to his timetable and teaching duties led him to resign. The college said he had not used or exhausted its grievance process and asked him to reconsider. The WRC found that both sides had failed to engage reasonably, but the teacher should have raised the dispute through the college’s procedures.
