WRC recommends worker accept €2,000 offer over delayed workplace complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission recommended that a worker accept her employer’s €2,000 compensation offer after delays in handling her Dignity at Work complaint. The recommendation was dated 10 October 2024. The worker said the process took more than seven years and harmed her health and reputation. The employer accepted there had been delays but said some were linked to two WRC referrals and a Labour Court appeal made by the worker. The officer noted the employer’s apology and steps to prevent a recurrence, then recommended that the worker accept the offer.
