WRC rejects restaurant worker’s constructive-dismissal complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Fabio Dantas’s constructive-dismissal complaint against Heat Restaurant Limited, finding he had not shown that his employer acted so unreasonably that he had no alternative but to resign. The decision was dated 7 November 2025. Dantas said workplace tensions and reduced hours led him to resign. The company said the hours reduction followed a seasonal downturn and that it planned to investigate concerns about his conduct. The adjudicator found the issues could have been resolved and that Dantas resigned before giving the company a chance to address remaining grievances. No award was recorded.
