WRC rejects Anita Swan’s constructive dismissal complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Anita Swan’s constructive dismissal complaint against Office and Industrial Cleaning Limited. The decision, dated 28 January 2025, found she had not shown a fundamental breach of contract or unreasonable conduct that left her with no alternative but to resign. Swan said the employer’s treatment and disciplinary process, including its refusal to allow her solicitor at an appeal meeting, led her to resign. The company said it acted reasonably and that she resigned without using its grievance process or completing internal procedures.
