The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed complaints by Jenny Faulkner against Ryan’s Investments Hertz Rent A Car under the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 and the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977. The decision was dated 3 February 2026. The complaints alleged penalisation for opposing an unlawful act and dismissal for making a protected disclosure. Adjudication Officer Brian Dalton said Faulkner did not attend despite notice and gave no explanation; the company attended ready to rebut the allegations. They were dismissed for failure to attend, so the decision did not determine the allegations on their merits.
