WRC rejects Edel Keating’s unfair dismissal complaint over short service

The Workplace Relations Commission found Edel Keating’s unfair dismissal complaint against Esperanza t/a Scoozi was not well founded. The decision was dated 14 October 2024. Keating said she was dismissed without due process. The respondent argued she did not have the service required to bring a claim under the Unfair Dismissals Act. The officer found she had less than 12 months’ continuous service and had not identified an applicable exception, so the complaint could not proceed. No award was recorded.
