WRC rejects Theresa Atkinson’s constructive dismissal complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Theresa Atkinson’s complaint that she had been constructively dismissed by Deepmelco Limited. The decision was dated 9 January 2025. Atkinson said she had no reasonable option but to resign, citing alleged late wages, treatment at work and changes to her duties and sick-pay arrangements. Deepmelco denied unreasonable conduct and said she had not raised grievances during her employment. The adjudicator found the evidence did not establish a fundamental breach of contract and noted she had not used the available grievance process. No award was made.
