The Workplace Relations Commission found Kerri Chaffer’s constructive dismissal complaint against Sora Healthcare Ltd t/a Irish HomeCare not well founded. The decision was dated 6 January 2025. Chaffer said the handling of workplace investigations caused her to lose trust in the employer and feel unable to continue. The company argued that she resigned without engaging with internal processes; it did not give evidence. The WRC found she had not used the grievance procedure or pursued her appeal before resigning, so her complaint failed the legal test for constructive dismissal.
