The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Patrick O'Connor’s complaints of unfair dismissal, unpaid wages and working-time breaches, finding it had no jurisdiction because he was not an employee. The decision was dated 18 March 2026. O'Connor argued that his remuneration, personal service and the control exercised over his work supported employee status. Pfizer Service Company Ireland Unlimited Company Ulc said his company contracted through an agency to supply services, so no employment relationship existed with Pfizer. The adjudicator found the contracts and working arrangements showed a commercial service contract.
