WRC makes no recommendation in employee’s bullying procedures dispute

The Workplace Relations Commission did not recommend in favour of an employee in a dispute about the handling of a bullying complaint. Its decision was dated 25 October 2023. The related race discrimination and harassment claim was dealt with separately. In that separate case, the WRC found the employer’s investigation and appeal procedures were flawed and that it could not rely on a statutory defence. It had already awarded redress in that case, so it did not recommend in favour of the employee in this dispute.
