Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) found that William Westlake was not constructively dismissed by Rentokil Initial Ltd. His complaint was not well founded, according to a decision dated 13 March 2024. Westlake said changes to his workload, shoulder pain and management’s treatment left him no choice but to resign. The company said it offered support, including help with lifting and an occupational health assessment. The WRC found that he had not used the available grievance procedure before resigning and had not established that the company’s conduct justified his resignation.
