The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed an agent’s unfair dismissal claim, finding that he was self-employed and not covered by the Unfair Dismissals Act. Adjudication Officer Jim O’Connell dated the decision 31 May 2018. The agency services provider said the agent operated his own business, could subcontract the work and controlled his hours. The WRC noted that he could subcontract, controlled his working hours and was in business on his own account.
