A shop manager in Dublin was awarded compensation after being unfairly dismissed for attending a job interview during her lunch break. The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) found that the company director's decision to immediately dismiss her was unreasonable.

He noted there was a long personal relationship between the directors of Genius Ltd, trading as clothes and shoe shop Genius on Clarendon Street in Dublin, and Roberta Girinelli. She was asked to work two trial days at the medical practice and had to seek permission to take a day of annual leave in order to be available for one of these as she was rostered to work. She said she explained the situation to one of the company’s directors, however, and was given permission without any issue being raised.
