WRC rejects Karen Connolly’s constructive dismissal complaint against Combilift

The Workplace Relations Commission found Karen Connolly was not unfairly dismissed after she resigned from her job at Combilift. The decision was dated 19 December 2023. Connolly said difficulties with two colleagues and the company’s handling of her concerns led her to resign. Combilift said it had offered ways to address her concerns and was investigating her grievance when she left. The adjudicator found the employer’s conduct benign and said Connolly had not allowed enough time for her grievance to be investigated. The complaint was found not well founded under the Unfair Dismissals Act.
