The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Paul Devlin’s complaint that Blueline Coaches Limited T/A Nolan Coaches treated him adversely for refusing work with less than 24 hours’ notice. Adjudication Officer Monica Brennan’s decision was dated 13 March 2025. Devlin said unequal hours and unresolved roster concerns led him to leave. The company said all drivers received the same flat weekly rate. The WRC found it lacked jurisdiction over his constructive dismissal claim because he had six months’ service, below the one-year requirement.
