WRC awards Carol Connolly €933.18 and €342.16 in employment claims

The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Carol Connolly €933.18 for a failure to provide written employment terms and €342.16 for annual leave and public holiday pay. The decision was dated 6 July 2022 and concerned her part time legal secretary role at Ryans Solicitors Llp. Connolly said she resigned after disputes over working from home, treatment at work and her employment terms. The firm denied constructive dismissal and discrimination, but accepted it owed her payments for leave and a public holiday. The officer found the firm had breached the requirement to provide written employment terms and awarded two weeks’ remuneration. The officer found Connolly had not established constructive dismissal, discrimination on training, age or family status grounds, or less favourable treatment because she worked part time. Five duplicate complaints were not part of the decision.
