WRC recommends confidential €5,000 settlement of worker’s claims

A WRC adjudication officer recommended that a business development executive and a business services company pursue a confidential, full and final settlement involving €5,000. The recommendation, dated 6 January 2025, said the worker’s employment claims would not succeed at adjudication and that the employer had no legal liability. The worker raised claims about bullying and harassment, work targets, unpaid bonus and wages, and annual leave. He also alleged he was told to dispose of waste at customers’ sites. The officer found that waste-disposal issue was outside the WRC’s jurisdiction, so its merits were not decided. The €5,000 was described as pragmatic parting-of-the-ways money, without an admission of liability. The recommended settlement would require the worker to withdraw all claims.
