The Workplace Relations Commission found that An Post did not penalise Shane Fleming for taking parent’s leave. The decision, dated 8 June 2026, rejected his complaint under the Parent’s Leave and Benefit Act 2019. Fleming said he was moved from a delivery route to a less predictable leave-reserve role after applying for leave. An Post said he had temporarily covered the route while its owner was away, and the adjudicator accepted that the assignment ended when the owner returned. The complaint was not well founded, and no compensation or other direction was ordered.
