WRC dismisses Ann Mc Nicholl’s employment equality complaint as out of time

By Fionn Kelly

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Ann Mc Nicholl’s complaint against People 1st Employment & Skills Ltd was not well founded because it was brought outside the time limit. The decision was dated 26 April 2023; the merits were not decided. Mc Nicholl alleged gender discrimination, bullying and victimisation, including in relation to promotion and annual leave. She argued that the alleged acts formed a continuing pattern and sought more time to bring the complaint. The WRC declined to extend the six-month limit to 12 months, finding no reasonable causal link between the delay and the reasons given for it.
