WRC rejects Mark Lowry’s constructive dismissal complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission found Mark Lowry was not constructively dismissed by JJ Fleming and Company Limited, rejecting his complaint under the Unfair Dismissals Act. The decision was dated 13 January 2023. Lowry said excessive work and management conduct led him to resign. The company disputed the claim. The adjudication officer found he had not used the contractual grievance procedure or given the company a reasonable chance to address his concerns, and that the evidence did not establish a significant breach of contract.
