Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Msd International GmbH trading as Msd Carlow failed to notify Patrick Donohoe in writing when changes were made to his workplace and the nature of his work. In a decision dated 29 August 2025, it ordered the company to pay him €6,136 compensation. Donohoe said restructuring shifted his work from site-based duties in Carlow to regional work and increased expected travel. The company argued the changes were minor and did not substantially affect his role. A separate allegation about an unsigned 2019 contract was outside the complaint form and was not considered.
