WRC rejects Daniel Obineche’s complaints against Karaoke Box Ltd as out of time

The Workplace Relations Commission found it had no jurisdiction to decide Daniel Obineche’s two complaints against Karaoke Box Ltd, ruling they were statute-barred. The decision was dated 31 March 2025. Obineche alleged that he was not given a contract and that his employer took his tip. The WRC rejected his request to extend the filing deadline, finding he had not shown reasonable cause and that the delay prejudiced the respondent. The allegations were not examined on their merits, and no award was recorded.
