The Workplace Relations Commission found Hcl failed to fully inform and consult employee representatives about measures for a retention bonus during John Callaghan’s 2019 employment transfer, and directed the company to pay him €2,000 compensation. The WRC decision, dated 11 January 2022, found the bonus was not part of Callaghan’s employment terms with the transferor, so Hcl had no obligation under TUPE to maintain it. The complaint succeeded because the company did not fully explain the bonus measures or seek agreement on how it would be applied and who would qualify.
