The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Yasmine El-Hamamy €12,000 after finding her dismissal by Academic Bridge Limited unfair. Adjudication Officer Breiffni O'Neill dated the decision 15 January 2026.
The company conceded the dismissal was unfair after El-Hamamy declined new contracts with inferior terms. The adjudicator found there was no procedural fairness and that El-Hamamy had not contributed to her dismissal, but said her restricted job search materially contributed to her continued financial loss. Her complaints under the Redundancy Payments Act and the Protection of Employment Act were withdrawn.
