The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Rosanna Peyton Mealy €7,188 net after finding that Cuttriss Trading Limited t/a JC Products unfairly dismissed her. The decision was dated 8 June 2026. The award was equivalent to six months' net pay and reflected a reduction for incomplete efforts to find other work.
Mealy said the company ended her employment after a workplace dispute; the company maintained she had resigned. The adjudicator found she had not resigned and that the employer dismissed her summarily without fair procedures or substantial justification. The dispute followed an exchange about soup at her desk, during which a director acknowledged raising his voice and apologised.
The decision's reference to the separate terms complaint is inconsistent: the hearing record says complaint CA-00064644-003 was withdrawn, while the Decision labels that same reference not well founded. The body describes the hours-change complaint under CA-00064644-002 and finds no detrimental change was proven. The source does not clearly reconcile those references and outcomes.
