The WRC recommended that a childcare provider pay a worker €960, equivalent to two weeks’ wages, after finding that it had not followed fair procedures when dismissing her. The recommendation was dated 26 February 2026. The worker said her dismissal was retaliatory, coming after she complained to the WRC about unpaid sick pay. The provider said the dismissal followed performance concerns and a parent’s complaint about a child’s care. The WRC found that the dismissal was performance-related and followed a parent complaint supported by documentary evidence, but that the provider had not conducted a disciplinary investigation under its procedure.
