The Workplace Relations Commission has ordered Wilsons Hospital School Compaany Limited By Guarantee to pay former employee George Forbes €7,500 gross compensation after finding his dismissal was arbitrary and carried out without fair procedures. The decision was dated 3 July 2026.
The WRC found the school did not give Forbes disciplinary charges, an opportunity to respond, representation, a hearing or an appeal, and had not shown the dismissal was fair. The school disputed his claim and raised time-limit and service objections. Separate complaints about minimum notice and working time were withdrawn after resolution.
