The Workplace Relations Commission found it had no jurisdiction to hear Edward McCartney’s unfair dismissal complaint because he fell just short of the required one year of continuous service. The complaint concerned his dismissal from Onnec Ltd. McCartney said he was dismissed after raising concerns about carrying company equipment in his private car. The WRC decision, dated 14 August 2023, found that his employment ended on 2 December 2022, after he began work on 6 December 2021. Onnec did not attend the hearing, but the adjudicator’s ruling turned on the length of McCartney’s service.
