Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found that Slawomir Debski’s complaints against Kepak Longford Unlimited Company were unsuccessful. The decision, dated 26 April 2023, rejected his claims of constructive unfair dismissal and penalisation under workplace safety law. Debski said he had to resign after the company delayed his return to work following an accident and penalised him for taking a personal injury claim. The company said it needed medical records to assess his fitness to return. The adjudication officer found its requests reasonable and noted that Debski had not used the workplace grievance process before resigning.
