WRC finds worker’s unfair dismissal complaint was out of time

By Niamh Kearney

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC found a worker’s unfair dismissal complaint was brought outside the time limit and was not well founded; the merits were not decided. The decision was dated 5 September 2017. The worker said difficult personal circumstances delayed her claim. The employer argued it was filed too late. The adjudication officer found that she resigned on 16 December 2015 and lodged her complaint on 16 January 2017, and did not accept that her circumstances prevented her from filing in time.
