- AND - A WORKER (REPRESENTED BY SERVICES INDUSTRIAL PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL UNION) DIVISION : Chairman: Mr Foley Employer Member: Mr Marie Worker Member: Mr Hall |
1. Dismissal
BACKGROUND:
2. On the 18th January, 2019 the Worker referred the issue to the Labour Court, in accordance with Section 20(1) of the Industrial Relations Act, 1969. A Labour Court hearing took place on the 4th June, 2019..
The Worker agreed to be bound by the Court’s Recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION :
The Court has given careful consideration to the submission of the Claimant in this case. The employer did not attend the hearing of the Court and consequently the Court was deprived of any understanding of the employer’s perspective.
On the basis of the uncontested submission of the Claimant the Court concludes that no fair procedures were employed in arriving at the decision to terminate the Claimant’s employment. The Court notes that the employment was terminated shortly before the one-year anniversary of his engagement by the employer.
In all of the circumstances the Court recommends that the employer pay to the Claimant the sum of €12,000 in compensation for the loss suffered as a result of his unfair dismissal.
Signed on behalf of the Labour Court
Kevin Foley
