WRC rejects employee’s constructive-dismissal and final-pay complaints

The WRC found that an employee was not constructively dismissed and rejected her complaint over a deduction from her final pay. The decision was dated 8 May 2024. The employee said she resigned after not receiving a promotion and amid tensions with her manager. She also challenged a deduction on her final payslip. The supermarket said it reconciled core hours paid in advance against hours worked, and the adjudicator found the deduction was lawful. The adjudicator found that not being promoted, taking some approved leave unpaid and having a strained relationship with her manager over several weeks did not establish constructive dismissal. The employee had not exhausted the internal grievance process.
