WRC awards Olivera Tranpa €1,392.72 for unfair dismissal

The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Olivera Tranpa €1,392.72 after finding she was unfairly dismissed by Maybin Support Services (Ireland) Limited. In a decision dated 21 March 2024, it also awarded her €696.36 for a change to her contract that was not notified in writing. Tranpa said faulty time records led to repeated underpayments, which she raised with managers before resigning. The company said it reconciled third-party records and argued that she had not followed its grievance procedure. The adjudicator found Tranpa had repeatedly raised the pay problems and that the company should have invited her to use its procedures before she left. Her quick move to another job meant her financial losses were minimal. Five other complaints, concerning night work, weekly hours, initial contract information, fixed-term status and annual leave, were found not well-founded.
