Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC recommended that a contracting company pay a truck driver €500 in full and final settlement of an industrial relations dispute over the end of his employment. The recommendation was dated 8 April 2026. The driver said he had agreed time off and discovered his employment had ended when he checked the Revenue website. The company said he stopped attending work and it understood he had left. The adjudicator found there were no written employment terms and confusion about who could authorise time off, which may have contributed to the driver’s confusion. The payment was recommended to conclude the dispute.
