WRC dismisses hair salon worker’s constructive dismissal claim

The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Tiago Lucio’s constructive unfair dismissal claim against Avise Hair Creations Ltd, with no award recorded. The decision was dated 23 June 2026. Lucio said he resigned after a disagreement about taking annual leave while working two days and expected extra payment for those days. The company accepted the sequence of events but said it had not understood this was the main reason for his resignation. The adjudication officer found the two days were properly treated as working time, with the corresponding leave reserved for later, and concluded the company’s approach was reasonable and lawful.
