The Workplace Relations Commission found Paul McNutt was unfairly dismissed after he resigned from Enercon Windfarm Services Ireland Limited. In a decision dated 30 September 2022, it awarded him €7,000 compensation. McNutt said unfair disciplinary processes and the refusal of his request for trade union representation left him with no option but to resign. Enercon denied the complaint. The adjudication officer found that the company persistently refused his requested representation, contributing to a deterioration in trust and confidence. Compensation was chosen because neither party wanted the employment relationship to resume. The officer also considered McNutt’s efforts to limit his losses after finding alternative work at lower pay.
