WRC recommends worker accept constructive-dismissal dispute was without merit

The WRC recommended that a worker accept her constructive-dismissal dispute was without merit after she resigned without exhausting the employer’s grievance procedure. Adjudication Officer Bríd Deering dated the recommendation on 23 January 2026. The worker said she resigned because the Finance Director did not speak to her manager after proposing mediation. The employer said she had not raised a formal grievance or completed its internal process. The WRC noted that she could have used the grievance procedure or spoken to HR, and had no reason for not doing so.
