Cork charity Matt Talbot ordered to pay €75k compensation to former financial controller for penalizing protected disclosures.
Cork-based charity Matt Talbot Adolescent Services has been ordered to pay €75,000 in compensation to its former financial controller, Suzanne Pictor, after she was penalised for making protected disclosures related to spending, appointments, HR matters, and governance issues. The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) found Pictor's dismissal was substantively fair due to a genuine redundancy situation, but ruled that the charity failed to process her application for pay restoration, which constituted penalisation.
