Labour Court rejects Maria Popa’s constructive dismissal appeal

The Labour Court rejected Maria Popa’s appeal over her constructive dismissal claim against Domestic & General Property Support Services Limited. In its determination dated 29 January 2019, the Court affirmed the Adjudication Officer’s decision and found that Ms Popa’s employment ended by resignation, not dismissal. Ms Popa said she left because of her supervisor’s treatment. The employer said she had not raised concerns before resigning. The Court noted she had started another cleaning job before sending her resignation email while on annual leave. It also found she had not used the employer’s grievance procedure or given it an opportunity to address her concerns. The complaint was not well founded.
