The Workplace Relations Commission upheld hair stylist Martina Reilly’s unfair dismissal complaint against KS Avenue Salon Limited, awarding her €1,617.72 in compensation. Adjudication Officer Elizabeth Spelman’s decision was dated 22 September 2025. Reilly said she was unfairly dismissed after a disagreement over deductions for Local Property Tax. The salon said an argument about her wages led her to leave voluntarily. The WRC found the exchange was acrimonious and that Reilly sought to clarify within a reasonable time that she had not resigned, but the salon denied her that opportunity. The company was in voluntary liquidation by the hearing.
