By Donal Gilhooly

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC had no jurisdiction to hear a worker’s redundancy complaint after finding he had waived his rights in a valid compromise agreement. The decision, dated 3 November 2025, found the agreement followed a genuine bargain and that the worker had signed it with free and informed consent after receiving payment to obtain independent employment advice. The merits of the complaint were not decided. Two unfair dismissal complaints and a minimum notice complaint were withdrawn.
