The Workplace Relations Commission ruled that Muhammad Usman Zafar’s unfair dismissal complaint against Tesco Ireland was out of time. The decision was dated 15 October 2024. Zafar said he had not resigned and had not received the employer’s letters. The adjudicator found that he had voluntarily left to pursue a third-level course. The six-month filing period expired before he referred the complaint to the WRC, and no reasonable grounds to extend it were advanced. The merits of the unfair dismissal claim were not decided. No award was recorded.
