The WRC rejected Fayth Byrne’s unfair-dismissal complaint against Foot Locker, finding that she resigned rather than was dismissed. Adjudication Officer Catherine Byrne issued the decision dated 20 January 2026. Fayth Byrne said a manager told her an investigation into her absences and conduct could lead to termination, after which she said she wanted to resign. Foot Locker maintained that she resigned at a meeting on 22 April 2025 and confirmed it in writing on 23 May. The officer found the company intended her to remain employed and that she decided to resign rather than face a disciplinary investigation.
