The Workplace Relations Commission found Mca Education Limited’s dismissal of Monil Patel procedurally unfair and awarded him €2,500 compensation. In a decision dated 24 September 2026, it also ordered the company to pay €610.26 for unpaid annual leave and €1,307.69 in lieu of minimum notice, and found he was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment subject to proof of insurable employment.
The company accepted that redundancy and minimum notice were payable, but disputed unfair dismissal, saying financial difficulties had ended the work available. The adjudication officer accepted that a genuine redundancy existed, but found the company had not meaningfully consulted Patel, warned him or considered his representations. The WRC upheld all four complaints.
