The Workplace Relations Commission ordered Theya Healthcare Ltd to pay Ciara Donlon €67,500 for unfair dismissal, finding that the company constructively dismissed her after withholding her September 2024 salary. The WRC decision was dated 28 July 2025.
The WRC also awarded Donlon €7,500 for unpaid September wages, €6,923 after finding the company failed to provide written employment terms, and €2,500 for an August salary shortfall. It found expenses were outside the Payment of Wages Act and had no jurisdiction over a separate wage complaint concerning alleged contraventions before 8 August 2024.
Donlon alleged she was not paid what she was owed and resigned after being told her September salary would not be paid. Theya Healthcare did not attend the hearing.
