The Workplace Relations Commission found it had no jurisdiction to hear a sales manager’s unfair dismissal complaint because it was referred outside the time limit; the merits were not decided. The decision was dated 7 February 2018. The WRC found his dismissal date was 4 January 2016, after two weeks’ statutory notice, and that his 3 February 2017 complaint was too late. Even assuming a dismissal date of 3 February 2016, the 12-month period ended on 2 February 2017. A second referral, CA-00009625-001, was deemed withdrawn for administrative purposes.
