The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Matthieu Debomy €4,500 after finding he was constructively dismissed by Apple Distribution International Ltd. The decision was dated 14 September 2021. Debomy resigned while a disciplinary process was under way, saying he had lost trust in the company over its use of his personal data. The WRC found the data had been processed without apparent prior clearance, breaching the trust and confidence required by his employment contract. It also found Apple failed to share the findings of a promised investigation into his data concerns. Debomy found work soon after leaving, and the award covered 12 months of lower earnings.
