WRC rejects Waterford council employee’s contract-change complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission found Elaine Sheridan’s complaint against Waterford City & County Council not well founded, with no award recorded. The decision was dated 28 August 2025. Sheridan alleged the council failed to notify her in writing of a change to her employment contract. She said she had been acting as a Senior Staff Officer, Grade VI, before being offered a permanent Staff Officer, Grade V role. The council said she had contracts for both positions. The adjudication officer found that no change to the written acting-position contract breached the law.
