Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission upheld Jose Felix’s complaint that Avpa Ltd failed to confirm a change in his working hours in writing, directing the company to pay him one week’s pay. In a decision dated 26 January 2026, the WRC found Felix had requested the hours change to facilitate his return to college, but Avpa Ltd still had to confirm it in writing. The officer rejected the remaining in-time complaints, including claims about Sunday premium, pay, notice, working hours, annual leave and redundancy. The alleged €360 deduction and race-discrimination complaint were out of time. Seven other complaints were withdrawn.
