WRC finds Sylvia Morgan’s unfair dismissal complaint out of time

The Workplace Relations Commission found Sylvia Morgan’s unfair dismissal complaint against Total Expo Limited was brought outside the time limit and was not well founded; the merits were not decided. The decision was dated 8 September 2022. Morgan’s employment ended by reason of redundancy on 6 July 2020, and she lodged her complaint on 26 March 2021. She sought an extension, citing that she had not known about the WRC and personal challenges. The adjudication officer found she had not met the reasonable-cause test and refused the extension.
