Question regarding use of comma


 

Good day everyone

I am unsure about how to use the comma in the following?instance:
...?the employee, Mr Maegala¡¯s dismissal was ruled substantively unfair
...?the employee, Mr Maegala¡¯s, dismissal was ruled substantively unfair
Should it?be the first or the second?

I also wonder about cases where abbreviations are included in brackets, for example:
The Department of Water and Sanitation's (DWS) decision to ...
Or should it be rephrased to:
The decision by the?Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) to ...

Would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks in advance!
