Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Michael Collins’s penalisation complaint under the Protection of Employees (Temporary Agency Work) Act 2012, finding he was not an agency worker. The adjudicator also refused to change the claim’s legal basis to protected disclosure legislation, saying that would alter its general nature. The underlying penalisation allegations were not decided on their merits. Adjudication Officer Patsy Doyle found for Ocs One Complete Solution Limited on the preliminary issue in a decision dated 8 September 2025. No award was recorded.
