WRC rejects Peter Darcy’s complaints over reduced Verizon incentive payment

The Workplace Relations Commission found two complaints by Peter Darcy against Verizon Services Ireland Limited over a 50% reduction in his short-term incentive payment were not well founded. The decision was dated 15 October 2025; the complaints were duplicates. Darcy argued that the full incentive was properly payable and that the disciplinary process leading to the reduction was flawed. The adjudicator found the contract did not guarantee an incentive equal to 20% of base salary, and that Verizon could take his final written warning into account when assessing performance. No award was recorded.
