The Workplace Relations Commission ordered Academic Bridge Ltd to pay English language teacher Evelyn Accoto €728 after finding it failed to notify her in writing of changes to her working hours and rest breaks. Adjudication Officer Kara Turner’s decision was dated 30 September 2025. Academic Bridge said it emailed proposed adjustments on 10 January 2025, with the changes taking effect on 3 March. Accoto said she received no further notice and learned of timetable changes from a post addressed to students. Turner found the email did not specify when the changes would take effect, and neither the post nor broader union consultation met the employer’s written-notice obligation.
