WRC rules former Mixers Sauces worker lacked service for unfair dismissal claim

The Workplace Relations Commission ruled that Colm O Reilly did not have the qualifying service required to bring an unfair dismissal claim against Mixers Sauces Limited. The decision was dated 24 September 2025. O Reilly said he began work on 28 November 2022, was dismissed on 17 November 2023 and remained employed beyond a year; the company argued he lacked the required service. He did not provide documents supporting his account, and the WRC did not assess whether the dismissal itself was unfair.
