Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Claire Sweeney’s complaint against An Post not well founded, ruling that seniority was not among the employment terms the law requires to be provided in writing. Adjudication officer Brian Dolan’s decision was dated 5 February 2026. Sweeney said a proposed transfer of duties could affect her seniority if she moved to a previous grade. An Post said her service date with the organisation would be maintained. The adjudicator found that the dispute concerned seniority, while the commencement date that must be recorded in writing would remain unchanged.
