Adjudication officer Penelope McGrath’s decision was dated 13 February 2026. Santos Da Silva said unresolved workplace grievances left her with no reasonable alternative but to resign. The employer rejected that a constructive dismissal had occurred. The officer found delays in handling the grievances, but said they had not become unacceptable by the time she resigned.
