Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC awarded a sales assistant €1,200 after finding she had been constructively dismissed by a utilities company. The decision was dated 7 June 2017. The adjudicator found that local management had not dealt effectively with the worker’s problems with three colleagues and should have referred her concerns to human resources. The company said it tried to resolve matters once it learned of the difficulties, offering grievance procedures and an external process. The WRC also found that the worker had not made sufficient efforts to find alternative work, limiting redress.
