WRC rules Daniel O’Sullivan’s unpaid commission claim out of time

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) ruled Daniel O’Sullivan’s claim for €2,894.74 in unpaid second-quarter 2023 commission out of time. Its decision, dated 12 November 2024, said it lacked jurisdiction to decide whether the commission was owed. O’Sullivan said he had earned the commission and had objected when Cognito Hrm Limited refused it. The company disputed liability, saying the commission had not been earned and required a sales calculation before he left. The WRC declined to extend the filing deadline, finding that O’Sullivan had time to use the grievance procedure before his employment ended and that the delay would prejudice the company.
