The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) rejected Lucy Higham’s unfair dismissal complaint against Auxilion Ireland Limited in a decision dated 19 September 2025. The adjudicator found she was not an employee of the company and therefore lacked standing to bring the complaint. Higham said she was dismissed without a procedure or opportunity to respond. The company said she worked as an independent contractor through her own limited company, providing IT services to its client. The WRC found the client assigned, directed and reviewed her work, while Auxilion Ireland Limited did not exercise the control needed for an employment relationship.
