The Workplace Relations Commission has ordered Hed Unity Limited to pay David Haran €180,000 compensation after finding his dismissal unfair. The decision was dated 25 November 2025.
Haran said he was dismissed without notice from his Chief of Staff role in April 2022. The company did not attend the hearing or provide evidence justifying the dismissal. The adjudication officer accepted Haran’s evidence and found he was entitled to at least three months’ notice, but did not receive the full €40,000 the company had said it would pay in lieu.
The officer assessed compensation for losses to date and did not award future losses, citing market conditions and the apparent cessation of the company’s business.
