WRC rejects discrimination complaint against Barclay Chemicals after finding employee resigned voluntarily

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Biodun Ogunniyi’s complaint that Barclay Chemicals Manufacturing Limited discriminated against him by dismissing him. Adjudication Officer Eileen Campbell dated the decision 3 September 2026. Ogunniyi said he had not resigned; the company said he chose to leave after it set out a phased return to hybrid working. Campbell found that he resigned voluntarily and was neither expressly nor constructively dismissed. She also found he had not established a prima facie case of discrimination or identified a protected ground. No award was recorded.
