Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

A Workplace Relations Commission adjudication officer found Lena Renata Pilarek’s complaint against Green Valley Farms Ltd t/a Killowen Farm not well founded, with no compensation awarded. The decision was dated 15 July 2026. Pilarek alleged the farm failed to give advance notice of additional hours, saying shift details could arrive the evening before. The farm said her contract and handbook allowed for additional hours and that rosters were posted or communicated verbally. The officer found no evidence of a breach. Other grievances raised by Pilarek were outside the complaint referred for adjudication.
