A WRC adjudication officer recommended no compensation for a care assistant who sought payment after leaving his job, finding it was reasonable for a care management company to refuse his request to change his client roster. The recommendation was dated 1 July 2025. The worker asked to visit clients by public transport or bicycle after a car accident left him unable to drive. The company said driving was required and those alternatives were impractical because clients were spread across Galway county. The officer agreed the proposed travel arrangements were impractical and saw no grounds to recommend compensation.
