WRC finds Rui Oliveira’s redundancy by Ubiqube was genuine

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Rui Oliveira’s unfair-dismissal complaint, finding that his redundancy from Ubiqube (Ireland) Limited was genuine. The decision was dated 6 January 2022. The WRC accepted that COVID-19 had harmed the company’s business: three of its five largest expected projects for 2020 were cancelled and the other two delayed. It also found Oliveira’s senior project-manager role was different from the more junior technical project-manager role, so a selection matrix between the two was not appropriate.
