In second ever case under ‘work life balance’ law, Centric Mental Health employee demanded his fully remote contract be honoured

Request that employee come to office one day a month was “a reasonable change” to terms, the Workplace Relations Commission ruled. Photograph: CollinsA tribunal has said it was “reasonable” for a company to ask a Kerry-based worker who had been on a fully remote contract to travel to an office in Dublin once a month – after his employer pulled back from requesting him on site at least twice a week.

On January 11th, 2024, following a conversation the previous month, a Centric HR officer wrote to Mr Jorge to tell him he was “required to attend” its offices at the Dundrum Town Centre in Dublin “a minimum of two days per week”, the tribunal noted. “We acknowledge that you received a letter from a former HR colleague, however, as discussed, the needs of the business have changed,” the HR officer wrote – with the letter telling Mr Jorge the change would begin the following month.

In response, Centric’s HR director reduced the requirement for Mr Jorge to attend the Dundrum office to just one day a month. With other colleagues being required to attend twice a week, the firm argued the requirement proposed to Mr Jorge was “reasonable and fair having regard to the previous amendment made in the contract”.
