WRC rejects one employment-terms complaint and finds another out of time

The WRC found Tom Griffin’s complaint about his written employment terms was not well founded, and ruled a second complaint was out of time. The decision, dated 14 February 2022, concerned his employment with Alan Hennessey & Breifne Hanratty T/A Munster Sealant Services. Griffin said his written terms did not correctly describe his place of work and travel requirements. The partnership said he had received and signed a contract setting out his terms. The adjudicator found that the contract indicated he could work at different locations and that Griffin knew travel was required. The WRC found he had received written terms, including a place-of-work term, so that complaint failed on its merits. It found the second complaint was brought outside the time limit and was not well founded; the merits were not decided.
